Rethinking Thinking Tokens: LLMs as Improvement Operators

Lovish Madaan, Aniket Didolkar, Suchin Gururangan +6

Reasoning training incentivizes LLMs to produce long chains of thought (long CoT), which among other things, allows them to explore solution strategies with self-checking. This res…

Metacognitive Reuse: Turning Recurring LLM Reasoning Into Concise Behaviors

Aniket Didolkar, Nicolas Ballas, Sanjeev Arora +1

Large language models (LLMs) now solve multi-step problems by emitting extended chains of thought. During the process, they often re-derive the same intermediate steps across probl…

CTRL-O: Language-Controllable Object-Centric Visual Representation Learning

Aniket Didolkar, Andrii Zadaianchuk, Rabiul Awal +3

Object-centric representation learning aims to decompose visual scenes into fixed-size vectors called "slots" or "object files", where each slot captures a distinct object. Current…

Object-Centric Temporal Consistency via Conditional Autoregressive Inductive Biases

Cristian Meo, Akihiro Nakano, Mircea Lică +7

Unsupervised object-centric learning from videos is a promising approach towards learning compositional representations that can be applied to various downstream tasks, such as pre…
