Steering Instruction Hierarchies at Inference Time

Siqi Zeng, Sewoong Lee, Han Zhao +1

The paper proposes V‑Steer, a training‑free method that modifies cached value vectors during inference to ensure higher‑priority prompts (like system prompts) override lower‑priori…

Scaling Evaluation-time Compute with Reasoning Models as Evaluators

Seungone Kim, Ian Wu, Jinu Lee +8

The paper studies how using larger, chain‑of‑thought reasoning language models as evaluators—by allocating more test‑time compute—can improve the accuracy of evaluating and reranki…

ReasoningFlow: Discourse Structures for Understanding LLM Reasoning Traces

Jinu Lee, Shivam Agarwal, Amruta Parulekar +3

Large reasoning models (LRMs) produce reasoning traces with non-linear structures, such as backtracking and self-correction, that complicate the evaluation and monitoring of the re…

SALSA: Speech Aware LLM Adaptation via Learned Steering Activation Vectors

Yekaterina Yegorova, Argyrios Gerogiannis, Haolong Zheng +3

Speech-aware large language models often generalize poorly to out-of-domain settings. We propose SALSA (Speech-Aware LLM Adaptation via Learned Steering Activations), a lightweight…

Evaluating Legal Reasoning Traces with Legal Issue Tree Rubrics

Jinu Lee, Kyoung-Woon On, Simeng Han +2

Evaluating the quality of LLM-generated reasoning traces in expert domains (e.g., law) is essential for ensuring credibility and explainability, yet remains challenging due to the…

Grid Spatial Understanding: A Dataset for Textual Spatial Reasoning over Grids, Embodied Settings, and Coordinate Structures

Risham Sidhu, Julia Hockenmaier

We introduce GSU, a text-only grid dataset to evaluate the spatial reasoning capabilities of LLMs over 3 core tasks: navigation, object localization, and structure composition. By…
