Characterizing Pattern Matching and Its Limits on Compositional Task Structures

ICLR 2026poster

Despite impressive capabilities, LLMs' successes often rely on pattern-matching behaviors, yet these are also linked to OOD generalization failures in compositional tasks. However, behavioral studies commonly employ task setups that allow multiple generalization sources (e.g., algebraic invariances,…

The CoT Encyclopedia: Analyzing, Predicting, and Controlling how a Reasoning Model will Think

ICLR 2026poster

Long chain-of-thought (CoT) is an essential ingredient in effective usage of modern large language models, but our understanding of the reasoning strategies underlying these capabilities remains limited. While some prior works have attempted to categorize CoTs using predefined strategy types, such a…

How Do Large Language Models Acquire Factual Knowledge During Pretraining?

NeurIPS 2024poster

Despite the recent observation that large language models (LLMs) can store substantial factual knowledge, there is a limited understanding of the mechanisms of how they acquire factual knowledge through pretraining. This work addresses this gap by studying how LLMs acquire factual knowledge during p…
