AdaR: A Framework for Equipping LLMs with Adaptive Reasoning

AdaR is a framework designed to enhance large language models (LLMs) with adaptive reasoning for mathematical tasks. It identifies and mitigates spurious reasoning—where models rely on superficial correlations—by generating logically equivalent queries and training with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) to penalize incorrect logic and promote adaptive logic. The approach includes extracting problem‑solving logic, executing code to verify answers, and applying sanity checks, resulting in significant gains in mathematical reasoning performance and improved data efficiency.

Beyond Quacking: Deep Integration of Language Models and RAG into DuckDB

The paper introduces FlockMTL, an extension for database management systems that deeply integrates large language models and retrieval‑augmented generation into DuckDB. It provides model‑driven scalar and aggregate functions, cost‑based optimizations like batching and caching, and new SQL DDL abstractions (PROMPT and MODEL) to treat LLMs as first‑class schema objects. These features aim to simplify the development of knowledge‑intensive analytical applications by reducing the effort required to orchestrate heterogeneous data systems and manage LLM context.

TeleTables: A Benchmark for Large Language Models in Telecom Table Interpretation

TeleTables is a benchmark that evaluates large language models on interpreting telecom tables from 3GPP specifications. It contains 2,220 tables in four formats and 500 human‑verified multiple‑choice questions that range from simple retrieval to multi‑step reasoning. Tests on 20 open‑weight LLMs show that closed‑book performance is limited by domain knowledge, while providing the table as context yields high accuracy that still drops with deeper reasoning, evidence scope, and structural complexity.

Querying an astronomical database using large language models: the ALeRCE text-to-SQL system

arXiv:2606. 18108v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a text-to-SQL (structured query language) system based on large language models (LLMs) using in-context learning and apply it to the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) astronomical database.
