DeepSeek-R1 Thoughtology: Let's think about LLM Reasoning
Sara Vera MarjanoviÄ, Arkil Patel, Vaibhav Adlakha +14
Large Reasoning Models like DeepSeek-R1 mark a fundamental shift in how LLMs approach complex problems. Instead of directly producing an answer for a given input, DeepSeek-R1 creat…
The Promise of RL for Autoregressive Image Editing
Saba Ahmadi, Rabiul Awal, Ankur Sikarwar +8
While image generation techniques are now capable of producing high-quality images that respect prompts which span multiple sentences, the task of text-guided image editing remains…
The Markovian Thinker: Architecture-Agnostic Linear Scaling of Reasoning
Milad Aghajohari, Kamran Chitsaz, Amirhossein Kazemnejad +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently become a strong recipe for training reasoning LLMs that produce long chains of thought (LongCoT). Yet the standard RL "thinking environment…
AgentRewardBench: Evaluating Automatic Evaluations of Web Agent Trajectories
Xing Han Lù, Amirhossein Kazemnejad, Nicholas Meade +7
Web agents enable users to perform tasks on web browsers through natural language interaction. Evaluating web agents trajectories is an important problem, since it helps us determi…
VinePPO: Refining Credit Assignment in RL Training of LLMs
Amirhossein Kazemnejad, Milad Aghajohari, Eva Portelance +4
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to complex reasoning tasks that require executing several complex steps before receiving any reward. Properly assigning credit…
