arXiv:2606. 15080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) show strong performance in English, they often fail to reason in the language of the query, a phenomenon known as language collapse.

arXiv:2606. 24994v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) for language-model reasoning can fail at both extremes of task difficulty: easy prompts often produce all-correct, low-diversity rollout groups with little gradient signal, while hard prompts can produce all-incorrect groups with no positive reward.

The paper evaluates the scalability and adversarial generalization of Natural Language Inference (NLI) models trained with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for Chain-of-Thought learning. By fine‑tuning 7B, 14B, and 32B language models with LoRA and QLoRA, the authors show strong performance on standard and adversarial NLI benchmarks, with the 32B model outperforming supervised baselines on adversarial sets. Using AWQ quantization, the 32B model fits within 22 GB of CUDA memory, demonstrating a scalable, practical framework for robust NLI without sacrificing inference quality.

The paper introduces APIVIS, a training-time framework that integrates finite-budget Gumbel search into reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) for mathematical reasoning. APIVIS combines direct and searched responses within each rollout group, uses selective supervision on search-improved tokens, and applies value-guided selection to improve verifier rewards at each searched state. Experiments on standard mathematical reasoning benchmarks and various model scales show significant performance gains over existing search-based methods.

The paper introduces Mahalanobis-Ensemble Decoding (ME-Decoding), a new framework for Large Language Model decoding that treats candidate token selection as an ensemble pruning problem. It uses a Mahalanobis distance-driven objective to promote semantic diversity while maintaining high probabilities, employing a token similarity matrix built with an adaptive-bandwidth kernel over token embeddings. An efficient greedy algorithm with near-linear complexity and theoretical guarantees makes ME-Decoding a plug‑and‑play module with negligible inference overhead, and experiments show strong performance across reasoning and generation tasks.
