Seg-ReSearch: Segmentation with Interleaved Reasoning and External Search

ICML 2026poster

Segmentation based on language has been a popular topic in computer vision. While recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have endowed segmentation systems with reasoning capabilities, these efforts remain confined by the frozen internal knowledge of MLLMs, which limits their pot…

Smaller Models are Natural Explorers for Policy-Level Diversity in GRPO

ICML 2026poster

We identify a new dimension for enhancing rollout diversity in Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for LLMs. While GRPO relies on diverse rollouts, prevailing strategies primarily increase diversity by injecting more token-level randomness, which may introduce step-wise noise and leads to inco…

Critical Tokens Matter: Token-Level Contrastive Estimation Enhances LLM’s Reasoning Capability

ICML 2025poster

Mathematical reasoning tasks pose significant challenges for large language models (LLMs) because they require precise logical deduction and sequence analysis. In this work, we introduce the concept of critical tokens -- elements within reasoning trajectories that significantly influence incorrect o…

Unlocking Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning via Process Reward Model

NeurIPS 2025poster

Process Reward Models (PRMs) have shown promise in enhancing the mathematical reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) through Test-Time Scaling (TTS). However, their integration into multimodal reasoning remains largely unexplored. In this work, we take the first step toward unlocking…

CriticBench: Benchmarking LLMs for Critique-Correct Reasoning

ACL 2024findings

The ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to critique and refine their reasoning is crucial for their application in evaluation, feedback provision, and self-improvement. This paper introduces CriticBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to assess LLMs’ abilities to critique and rectify their r…

PTD-SQL: Partitioning and Targeted Drilling with LLMs in Text-to-SQL

EMNLP 2024main

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for Text-to-SQL tasks, exhibiting remarkable reasoning capabilities. Different from tasks such as math word problem and commonsense reasoning, SQL solutions have a relatively fixed pattern. This facilitates the investigation of whether LLMs…
