CAPS is a four-stage inference-only cascade that adapts how much of each solution the verifier sees and how comparisons are distributed, halving per-candidate verifier tokens while outperforming uniform pairwise verification on most benchmarks.
QueST adapts LLMs at test time by generating query-specific problem-solution pairs for self-supervised fine-tuning, improving reasoning performance without external data.
A knowledge-first approach to LLM-driven automatic heuristic design in combinatorial optimization yields better discovery efficiency, transfer, and generalization than code-centric baselines by formalizing a distortion-compression trade-off.
Faithful chain-of-thought routes answer-relevant information through the CoT path, measured via sufficiency, completeness and necessity with entropy, masked-KL and gradient diagnostics, and improved by information-flow interventions during verifier-based RL.
MAP improves LLM agent reasoning by constructing a structured cognitive map of the environment before task execution, yielding performance gains on benchmarks like ARC-AGI-3 and superior training data via the new MAP-2K dataset.
CASPO trains LLMs via iterative direct preference optimization so that token-level confidence tracks step-wise correctness, then applies Confidence-aware Thought pruning at inference to improve both reliability and speed on reasoning benchmarks.
RIS improves MLLM latent visual reasoning by retrieving spatial-semantic evidence, integrating it via attention bottlenecks, and synthesizing it with language transition tokens, yielding gains on V*, HRBench, MMVP, and BLINK benchmarks.
Uniform-based discrete diffusion models behave as associative memories that retrieve unseen data, with a dataset-size-driven memorization-to-generalization transition detectable via conditional entropy of token predictions.
RALP learns string-based chain-of-thought prompts as scoring functions for knowledge graph triples using Bayesian optimization from fewer than 30 examples, improving link prediction MRR by over 5% and achieving over 88% Jaccard similarity on complex OWL reasoning tasks.
HCP-MAD reduces token costs in multi-agent debates by using heterogeneous consensus verification, adaptive pair-agent stopping, and escalated collective voting based on task complexity signals.
A new counterfactual multi-agent framework improves LLM diagnostic accuracy by quantifying confidence shifts from edited clinical findings and guiding specialist discussions.
LLM syntax accuracy for LAMMPS scripts improved to 91% parser pass rate, yet only 1/80 scripts were scientifically correct on the hardest prompt; an agentic verification skill raised success to 5/6.
R&B-EnCoRe uses self-supervised importance-weighted variational inference to distill action-predictive reasoning datasets that improve VLA performance on manipulation, navigation, and driving tasks without external verifiers.
LRMs exhibit complete accuracy collapse beyond certain puzzle complexities, with reasoning effort rising then declining, outperforming standard LLMs only on medium-complexity tasks.
SafeLens presents a fast-and-slow video guardrail framework that filters the SafeWatch dataset to 2.4% and adds Chain-of-Thought traces to achieve state-of-the-art moderation performance at reduced inference cost.
HDPO reframes tool efficiency as a conditional objective within accurate trajectories, enabling Metis to reduce tool invocations by orders of magnitude while raising reasoning accuracy.
Semi-CoT selects low-entropy pseudo-CoT chains from unlabeled questions via answer-level semantic entropy and shows high pseudo-answer precision but only small or negative gains on math reasoning benchmarks.
EMS reduces the average number of agents invoked for majority voting by 32% via reliability-aware prioritization and early stopping on six benchmarks.
