Achieving effective self-correction, where models verify and correct their own mistakes, remains a fundamental challenge for large language models (LLMs). In this work, we propose Self-Fix Step-DPO (SFS-DPO), a reinforcement learning based, two-stage framework for step-level self-verification and self-correction.

Reflective Recovery is a self‑supervised method that turns failed reasoning attempts into training data, enabling large language models to learn how to correct mistakes during inference. By extracting initial segments of erroneous trajectories and using them as prompts, the approach teaches models to recognize and recover from errors without external critics. Experiments show significant accuracy gains on benchmarks such as AIME 2025 and Minerva, and the method overcomes the scaling collapse problem, fostering emergent self‑correction behaviors.

arXiv:2606. 00020v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) based Chinese Grammatical Error Correction (CGEC) systems face two critical challenges: general-purpose models lack specialized linguistic priors for subtle grammatical distinctions, and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with Maximum Likelihood Estimation fails to optimize for precision-focused metrics, leading to systematic over-correction.

Chinese Semantic Error Correction (CSEC) targets semantic errors in Chinese text, which are typically more subtle and complex than spelling and grammatical errors but remain relatively underexplored....
