EchoRL: Reinforcement Learning via Rollout Echoing

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards is an effective route for post-training to strengthen the reasoning capability of large language models. However, as training proceeds, the learning signal can collapse thus makes the training gain become marginal and ineffective. Specifically, a growin…

CopySpec: Accelerating LLMs with Speculative Copy-and-Paste

EMNLP 2025

We introduce CopySpec, a simple yet effective technique to tackle the inefficiencies LLMs face when generating responses that closely resemble previous outputs or responses that can be verbatim extracted from context. CopySpec identifies repeated sequences in the model’s chat history or context and

How Is LLM Reasoning Distracted by Irrelevant Context? An Analysis Using a Controlled Benchmark

EMNLP 2025

We introduce Grade School Math with Distracting Context (GSM-DC), a synthetic benchmark to evaluate Large Language Models’ (LLMs) reasoning robustness against systematically controlled irrelevant context (IC). GSM-DC constructs symbolic reasoning graphs with precise distractor injections, enabling r
