DyCon: Dynamic Reasoning Control via Evolving Difficulty Modeling

arXiv:2606. 07108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate remarkable performance improvements by iteratively reflecting, exploring, and executing complex tasks, yet suffer from inefficiencies due to redundant reasoning, known as "overthinking".

Layer-Informed Fine-Tuning via Three-Stage Functional Segmentation of LLMs

The paper proposes Layer-Informed Fine-Tuning (LIFT), a method that identifies and updates only the most functionally critical layers of large language models (LLMs) using a bottleneck identification mechanism based on sensitivity analysis. By focusing on layers that handle conceptualization, reasoning, and textualization, LIFT aims to accelerate training and enhance performance on reasoning tasks. Experiments demonstrate that this selective fine-tuning approach both speeds up the training process and yields significant performance gains.
