MoL: Adaptive Mixture-of-Length Reasoning for Efficient Question Answering with Context

ICLR 2026poster

We present Mixture-of-Length (MoL), an approach for Question Answering (QA) with context that aims to improve the balance between reasoning quality and response efficiency. Our method introduces a principled difficulty assessment based on information-theoretic principles and a dual-objective reward…

Multimodal Causal Reasoning Benchmark: Challenging Multimodal Large Language Models to Discern Causal Links Across Modalities

ACL 2025finding

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have showcased exceptional Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning ability in complex textual inference tasks including causal reasoning. However, will these causalities remain straightforward when crucial hints hide in visual details? If not, what factors might inf…
