Evaluating the Scalability and Adversarial Generalization of GRPO-Trained NLI Models

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.

PRAGMA: Evaluating Personalized Guidance with Memory Alignment in Lifelong Conversations

PRAGMA is a benchmark designed to evaluate personalized guidance in long‑term conversations. It includes curated longitudinal conversation histories, evidence annotations, and guidance scenarios that reflect evolving user contexts and incorrect assumptions. Experiments show that current retrieval, memory, and long‑context models struggle to recover relevant conversational evidence and to use it effectively for personalized guidance.

Making LLMs Say What They Think: Measuring and Improving CoT-Interpretability Alignment

The paper introduces CoT-Interpretability Alignment (CIA), a metric that quantifies how well a large language model’s chain-of-thought (CoT) explanations match its internal reasoning processes. Evaluated on two-hop question answering, hint intervention, and integer multiplication across three LLMs, the study finds limited alignment (44.8–75.9%) and demonstrates that post‑training with a reward combining task accuracy and parametric faithfulness can substantially improve CoT faithfulness without sacrificing accuracy. The authors provide a framework for auditing CoT faithfulness and a pathway to making explicit reasoning more trustworthy, with code and data publicly available.
