arXiv:2608. 09638v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theory of Mind (ToM) is essential for agent interactions, yet existing evaluations either rely on static scenarios that oversimplify mental-state reasoning or interactive settings that provide limited diagnostic insight.

arXiv:2606. 23238v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Logical reasoning is essential for reliable AI, yet existing benchmarks are largely first-order-logic-centric, focusing on object-level deduction over fixed predicates.

arXiv:2608. 05124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long context reasoning in large language models (LLMs) is usually constrained by the fact that a single inference trajectory has to simultaneously explore the context, store intermediate state, verify evidence, and produce the final answer.

arXiv:2606. 28589v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current approaches to enhance Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning, such as Chain-of-Thought and "Wait" prompts, primarily encourage models to think more, yet often fail to guide them toward Truth.

arXiv:2512. 20111v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As the time horizons of sequential decision-making tasks grow, keeping full interaction histories in model context becomes increasingly costly.

arXiv:2606. 00240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective real-world assistance requires AI agents with robust Theory of Mind (ToM): inferring human mental states from their behavior.

arXiv:2606. 27378v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce an axiomatic evaluation framework for latent thought representations in LLMs, comprising metrics that are independent of downstream benchmark scores and reveal representational failures that benchmark accuracy masks.

arXiv:2606. 03988v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision language models (VLMs) excel at many tasks but still struggle with spatial reasoning when critical information is not directly observable.

arXiv:2603. 02112v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern language models reason within bounded context, an inherent constraint that poses a fundamental barrier to long-horizon reasoning.
By Chenxiao Yang, Nathan Srebro, Zhiyuan Li
arXiv:2606. 01063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theory of Mind (ToM) enables an agent to reason about another actor's beliefs, goals, and intentions, which is essential for human-centered embodied assistance.

arXiv:2510. 08647v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent developments have enabled advanced reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs) via long Chain-of-Thought (CoT), trading efficiency during inference for performance.
