SignalReasoner: Assessing the Upper Bound of 3B Models for Signal Mathematical Reasoning

SignalReasoner evaluates reinforcement fine‑tuning methods for the Qwen2.5‑3B‑Base language model on graduate‑level signal processing math problems from the WirelessMATHBench‑XL benchmark. Two training paradigms are compared: direct reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, and supervised chain‑of‑thought fine‑tuning followed by domain‑specific reinforcement learning. The study benchmarks three policy optimization algorithms—GRPO, GSPO, and GMPO—to determine if domain‑aware chain‑of‑thought initialization improves performance, achieving a best accuracy of 39.12% versus 12.37% for the untrained base model.

SignalReasoner: Assessing the Upper Bound of 3B Models for Signal Mathematical Reasoning

Post-training with supervised chain-of-thought fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards has substantially improved the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, their application to signal processing problems remains relatively under-explored.
