Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to solve complex problems. Contrary to the common belief that longer CoTs always improve performance, we demonstrate that **longer is not always better**. Across both real-world LLMs and theoretical models, task accur…
As machine learning (ML) application continues to expand across diverse fields, there is a rising demand for ML code generation. In this paper, we aim at a critical research question: Can machines autonomously generate ML code for sophisticated, human-designed algorithms or solutions? To answer this
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown growing potential in molecular sciences, but they often produce chemically inaccurate descriptions and struggle to recognize or justify potential errors. This raises important concerns about their robustness and reliability in scientific applications. To suppo
Multi-hop question answering (QA) often requires sequential retrieval (multi-hop retrieval), where each hop retrieves missing knowledge based on information from previous hops. To facilitate more effective retrieval, we aim to distill knowledge from a posterior retrieval, which has access to posteri…
k-clustering typically struggles with the detection of irregular-distributed clusters due to the natural bias, while density clustering usually cannot well-adapt to different datasets and clustering tasks as it is not an oriented optimization process. This paper, therefore, proposes to perform densi…
Going beyond mimicking limited human experiences, recent studies show initial evidence that, like humans, large language models (LLMs) are capable of improving their abilities purely by self-correction, i.e., correcting previous responses through self-examination, as seen in models like OpenAI o1.
