SLT selectively compresses reasoning spans via anticipation and gating, trained in three stages including RL, yielding 22.7% higher accuracy than uniform latent baselines at similar compression and 58.4% shorter chains with 2.8% accuracy drop vs explicit CoT on math benchmarks.
CopT reverses CoT by eliciting a draft answer first then using continuous-embedding contrastive verification and on-policy thinking to reflect and correct, yielding up to 23% higher accuracy and 57% fewer tokens without training.
Post-Reasoning boosts LLM accuracy by reversing the usual answer-after-reasoning order, delivering mean relative gains of 17.37% across 117 model-benchmark pairs with zero extra cost.
Applying STP at consecutive semantic reasoning steps achieves 168x more accurate multi-step latent prediction on ProcessBench than frozen baselines, with trajectories forming smooth curves best captured by non-linear predictors.
CoLT replaces text chain-of-thought in multimodal LLMs with three supervised latent vectors, improving average accuracy from 75.7 to 79.1 across eight benchmarks while cutting text-decoding time 22.6x.
LACO introduces Iterative Latent Deliberation, Cross-Horizon Saliency Attribution, and Structured Semantic Knowledge Distillation to enable low-latency latent communication in collaborative driving while preserving performance in CARLA simulations.
TTE-Flash trains latent think tokens with CoT generation loss and embedding tokens with contrastive loss to deliver high-performance multimodal representations without generating explicit reasoning at inference time.
CEM recasts Transformer layers as energy minimization steps, enabling constrained parameterizations like weight sharing and low-rank interactions that match standard baselines in 100M-scale language modeling.
Visual replay module and adaptive depth scaling improve multimodal latent reasoning, reaching SOTA benchmarks with faster inference than explicit chain-of-thought methods.
MEMENTO trains LLMs to segment reasoning into blocks, generate mementos as dense summaries, and reason forward using only mementos and KV states, cutting peak KV cache by ~2.5x while preserving benchmark accuracy.
SeLaR selectively applies latent soft reasoning in LLMs via entropy gating and contrastive regularization, outperforming standard CoT on five benchmarks without training.
A 22M-parameter hyperbolic model answers structured EHR questions with accuracy close to LLM-based systems (EHRXQA 89.5%, MIMIC-Instr 76.0%).
LEPO applies RL to continuous latent representations in LLMs by injecting Gumbel-Softmax stochasticity for diverse trajectory sampling and unified gradient estimation, outperforming existing discrete and latent RL methods.
Reason-IAD improves explainable industrial anomaly detection by combining retrieval-augmented category knowledge with entropy-guided latent reasoning and dynamic visual patch injection in MLLMs.
MarCos modifies transformers to perform continuous multi-step reasoning by mapping thought-level continuous states directly to next-thought distributions, achieving substantial wall-clock speedups on math problems.
A survey organizing techniques to achieve efficient reasoning in LLMs by shortening chain-of-thought outputs.
Latent-CURE introduces latent-space chain-of-thought reasoning and dual-asymmetric optimization to produce transparent, robust breast cancer diagnoses in imbalanced cohorts.
MedSynapse-V proposes a latent memory evolution framework with meta-query prior retrieval, causal counterfactual refinement via RL, and intrinsic memory transition to improve diagnostic accuracy over chain-of-thought baselines in medical VLMs.
N-GRPO enhances GRPO via Semantic Neighbor Mixing of token embeddings to improve diversity and consistency in LLM math reasoning rollouts.
