TTSR (Test-Time Self-Reflection) is a framework that enables large language models to adapt during inference by alternating between a Student role that solves test questions and a Teacher role that analyzes failures and generates targeted variant questions. The method incorporates a weakness memory and a strategy note to guide exploration, reducing reliance on noisy pseudo-labels and inefficient rollouts. Experiments on mathematical reasoning benchmarks demonstrate consistent test-time improvements, strong cross-backbone generalization, and transfer to general-domain reasoning tasks.

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly improve their reasoning at test time via additional computation, yet most existing works treat each problem in isolation. When problems arrive sequentially, accumulating reusable experience across them can further improve performance.
arXiv:2606. 17803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance by scaling inference-time compute, yet remain fundamentally stateless, discarding the rich, self-produced reasoning traces generated during this process.
