Board game offers a unique platform for exploring the capabilities of artificial intelligence in decision-making. It demands long-term strategic planning and opponent behaviors to refine decision-making. Since the success of AlphaGo family, learning agents have become pivotal methods for board game.…
Many studies focus on data annotation techniques for training effective PRMs. However, current methods encounter a significant issue when applied to long CoT reasoning processes: they tend to focus solely on the first incorrect step and all preceding steps, assuming that all subsequent steps are inc
Offline meta-reinforcement learning (OMRL) enables reinforcement learning (RL) agents to adapt to unseen tasks without interacting with the environment. However, OMRL faces challenges such as Q-function overestimation and difficulties in inferring tasks correctly and robustly due to distribution dis…
Transformer-based language models (LMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on many natural language tasks, yet to what extent LMs possess the capability of generalizing to unseen logical rules remains not explored sufficiently. In classical logic category, abductive, deductive and inductive (A…
Continual Pre-Training (CPT) has become a popular and effective method to apply strong foundation models to specific downstream tasks. In this work, we explore the **learning dynamics** throughout the CPT process for large language models (LLMs). We specifically focus on how general and downstream…
The offline datasets for imitation learning (IL) in multi-agent games typically contain player trajectories exhibiting diverse strategies, which necessitate measures to prevent learning algorithms from acquiring undesirable behaviors. Learning representations for these trajectories is an effective a…
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved significant progress in mathematical reasoning, especially in elementary math. However, they remain indisposed on tackling complex questions at high-school or college levels, which put forward a more advanced requirement of mastering relevant mathematical t…
Large reasoning models (LRMs) are proficient at generating explicit, step-by-step reasoning sequences before producing final answers. However, such detailed reasoning can introduce substantial computational overhead and latency, particularly for simple problems. To address this over-thinking problem…
Positional bias (PB), manifesting as non-uniform sensitivity across different contextual locations, significantly impairs long-context comprehension and processing capabilities. Previous studies have addressed PB either by modifying the underlying architectures or by employing extensive contextual a
Social media platforms has long served as open arenas where individuals discuss and change their opinions on various events, subsequently influencing the progression of these events. Public opinion, recognized as an important social signal, is instrumental in understanding the developmental patterns…
Recent advances in handling long sequences have unlocked new possibilities for long-context in-context learning (ICL). While existing research predominantly focuses on performance gains driven by additional in-context examples, the impact on the trustworthiness of generated responses remains underex…
Recent advances in reasoning language models have witnessed a paradigm shift from short to long CoT pattern. Given the substantial computational cost of rollouts in long CoT models, maximizing the utility of fixed training datasets becomes crucial. Our analysis reveals that negative responses contai
Performing logical reasoning based on prior knowledge is a crucial human cognitive ability and has been a long-standing objective in the field of artificial intelligence. Large language models based on transformer architecture have been a common approach for logical reasoning over text. However, the…
In this paper, we investigate whether Large Language Models (LLMs) actively recall or retrieve their internal repositories of factual knowledge when faced with reasoning tasks. Through an analysis of LLMs’ internal factual recall at each reasoning step via Knowledge Neurons, we reveal that LLMs fail…
With the rapid development of large language models (LLMs), it is highly demanded that LLMs can be adopted to make decisions to enable the artificial general intelligence. Most approaches leverage manually crafted examples to prompt the LLMs to imitate the decision process of human. However, design…
Natural Language Inference (NLI) is a vital task in natural language processing. It aims to identify the logical relationship between two sentences. Most of the existing approaches make such inference based on semantic knowledge obtained through training corpus. The adoption of background knowledge…
