PETS: A Principled Framework Towards Optimal Trajectory Allocation for Efficient Test-Time Self-Consistency
ICML 2026poster
Test-time scaling can improve model performance by aggregating stochastic reasoning trajectories. However, achieving sample-efficient test-time self-consistency under a limited budget remains an open challenge. We introduce PETS (\textbf{P}rincipled and \textbf{E}fficient \textbf{T}est-Time \textbf{…
