Advancing LLM Reasoning with Natural Language and Numerical Feedback

ICML 2026spotlight

Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) using numerical rewards have significantly enhanced the complex reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, we identify three fundamental limitations of purely numerical feedback: performance plateaus, ineffective spontaneous self-r…

MME-Reasoning: A Broad-Spectrum Benchmark for Evaluating Logical Reasoning in MLLMs

ICML 2026poster

Logical reasoning is a fundamental aspect of human intelligence and an essential capability for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Despite the significant advancement in multimodal reasoning, existing benchmarks fail to comprehensively evaluate their reasoning abilities due to the lack of exp…

OneThinker: All-in-one Reasoning Model for Image and Video

CVPR 2026

Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently achieved remarkable success in eliciting visual reasoning within Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). However, existing approaches typically train separate models for different tasks and treat image and video reasoning as disjoint domains. This results i

SophiaVL-R1: Reinforcing MLLMs Reasoning with Thinking Reward

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances have shown success in eliciting strong reasoning abilities in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) through rule-based reinforcement learning (RL) with outcome rewards. However, this paradigm typically lacks supervision over the thinking process leading to the final outcome. As a…

Fira: Can We Achieve Full-rank Training of LLMs Under Low-rank Constraint?

NeurIPS 2025poster

Low-rank training has emerged as a promising approach for reducing memory usage in training Large Language Models (LLMs). Previous methods either rely on decomposing weight matrices (e.g., LoRA), or seek to decompose gradient matrices (e.g., GaLore) to ensure reduced memory consumption. However, bot…

Reinforcing Spatial Reasoning in Vision-Language Models with Interwoven Thinking and Visual Drawing

NeurIPS 2025poster

As textual reasoning with large language models (LLMs) has advanced significant, there has been growing interest in enhancing the multimodal reasoning capabilities of large vision-language models (LVLMs). However, existing methods primarily approach multimodal reasoning in a straightforward, text-ce…

Video-R1: Reinforcing Video Reasoning in MLLMs

NeurIPS 2025poster

Inspired by DeepSeek-R1's success in eliciting reasoning abilities through rule-based reinforcement learning (RL), we introduce Video-R1 as the first attempt to systematically explore the R1 paradigm for incentivizing video reasoning within multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, directly…

Keypoint-based Progressive Chain-of-Thought Distillation for LLMs

ICML 2024poster

Chain-of-thought distillation is a powerful technique for transferring reasoning abilities from large language models (LLMs) to smaller student models. Previous methods typically require the student to mimic the step-by-step rationale produced by LLMs, often facing the following challenges: (i) Toke…

On the Road to Portability: Compressing End-to-End Motion Planner for Autonomous Driving

CVPR 2024poster

End-to-end motion planning models equipped with deep neural networks have shown great potential for enabling full autonomous driving. However the oversized neural networks render them impractical for deployment on resource-constrained systems which unavoidably requires more computational time and re…
