Scaling Laws for Hypernetwork-Based Knowledge Injection in Large Language Models

Nischay Dhankhar, Dos Baha, Abulhair Saparov

Injecting factual knowledge into large language models (LLMs) reliably and at scale remains an open challenge. Hypernetworks provide a promising solution to large-scale knowledge i…

Learning to Reason Efficiently with A* Post-Training

Andreas Opedal, Francesco Ignazio Re, Abulhair Saparov +3

Many applications of large language models (LLMs) require deductive reasoning, yet models frequently produce incorrect or redundant inference steps. We frame natural language infer…

Can RL Teach Long-Horizon Reasoning to LLMs? Expressiveness Is Key

Tianle Wang, Zhaoyang Wang, Guangchen Lan +4

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been applied to improve large language model (LLM) reasoning, yet the systematic study of how training scales with task difficulty has been hampered…

Language Models Might Not Understand You: Evaluating Theory of Mind via Story Prompting

Nathaniel Getachew, Abulhair Saparov

We introduce StorySim, a programmable framework for synthetically generating stories to evaluate the theory of mind (ToM) and world modeling (WM) capabilities of large language mod…

Transformers Can Learn Connectivity in Some Graphs but Not Others

Amit Roy, Abulhair Saparov

Reasoning capability is essential to ensure the factual correctness of the responses of transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs), and robust reasoning about transitive relati…

Do Language Models Follow Occam's Razor? An Evaluation of Parsimony in Inductive and Abductive Reasoning

Yunxin Sun, Abulhair Saparov

Non-deductive reasoning, encompassing inductive and abductive reasoning, is essential in addressing complex real-world questions. One key feature of inductive and abductive reasoni…
