Can LLMs Reason Abstractly Over Math Word Problems Without CoT? Disentangling Abstract Formulation From Arithmetic Computation

EMNLP 2025

Final-answer-based metrics are commonly used for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on math word problems, often taken as proxies for reasoning ability. However, such metrics conflate two distinct sub-skills: abstract formulation (capturing mathematical relationships using expressions) and arit

RankMI: A Mutual Information Maximizing Ranking Loss

CVPR 2020poster

We introduce an information-theoretic loss function, RankMI, and an associated training algorithm for deep representation learning for image retrieval. Our proposed framework consists of alternating updates to a network that estimates the divergence between distance distributions of matching and non…
