What Makes Effective Supervision in Latent Chain-of-Thought: An Information-Theoretic Analysis
ICML 2026poster
Latent Chain-of-Thought (CoT) aims to internalize reasoning into continuous hidden states, promising to transcend the computational bottlenecks of explicit tokens. However, the precise mechanisms ensuring its validity remain opaque. To bridge this gap, we establish an Information-Theoretic Framework…
