CyclicReflex: Improving Reasoning Models via Cyclical Reflection Token Scheduling

Large reasoning models (LRMs), such as OpenAI's o1 and DeepSeek-R1, harness test-time scaling to perform multi-step reasoning for complex problem-solving. This reasoning process, executed before producing final answers, is often guided by special juncture tokens that prompt self-evaluative reflectio…
