Modeling Hierarchical Thinking in Large Reasoning Models

G M Shahariar, Erfan Shayegani, Ali Nazari, Nael Abu-Ghazaleh

ICML 2026oral

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) solve complex tasks by generating long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) sequences; however, the emergent dynamics governing reasoning trajectories are not well understood and can lead to inconsistencies and reasoning pathologies. In this work, we propose to approximate LRM's emer…

CLIP Under the Microscope: A Fine-Grained Analysis of Multi-Object Representation

Reza Abbasi, Ali Nazari, Aminreza Sefid, Mohammadali Banayeeanzade, Mohammad Hossein Rohban, Mahdieh Soleymani Baghshah

CVPR 2025poster

Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) models excel in zero-shot classification, yet face challenges in complex multi-object scenarios. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of CLIP's limitations in these contexts using a specialized dataset, ComCO, designed to evaluate CLIP's encoders…
