Spoken language models (SLMs) enable natural human-computer interaction, but their reasoning ability still lags behind that of text-based large language models, especially on spoken mathematical question answering tasks. One important reason is that SLMs reason over purely verbalized mathematical expressions, which are harder to interpret than symbolic text.

Iterative retrieval-reasoning agents have recently shown promise for multimodal long-document question answering. However, most existing systems maintain a single growing context that mixes retrieval traces, observations, and intermediate reasoning.
arXiv:2603. 07598v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning improves problem solving, but long think traces increase inference cost.
