It employs four LLM-based agents: strategy generator, executor, optimizer, and evaluator, working together to generate, evaluate, and select promising strategies for a given task. Experimental results demonstrate that StrategyLLM outperforms the competitive baseline CoT -SC that requires human-annotated solutions on 13 datasets across 4 challenging tasks without human involvement, including math reasoning (34.2%

This raises a challenging research question: How can we keep improving the systems when their capabilities have surpassed the levels of humans?

For each (topic, subtopic) pair, we generate and solve 80 problems using GPT4.

Motivated by sequential budgeted allocation problems, we investigate online matching problems where connections between vertices are not i.i.d., but they have fixed

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have been widely used to obtain solutions to various physical phenomena modeled as Differential Equations. As PINNs are not naturally equipped with mechanisms for Uncertainty Quantification, some work has been done to quantify the different uncertainties that arise when dealing with PINNs. In this paper, we use a two-step procedure to train Bayesian Neural Networks that provide uncertainties over the solutions to differential equation systems provided by PINNs. We use available error bounds over PINNs to formulate a heteroscedastic variance that improves the uncertainty estimation. Furthermore, we solve forward problems and utilize the obtained uncertainties when doing parameter estimation in inverse problems in cosmology.

The interest in leveraging physics-based inductive bias in deep learning has resulted in recent development of hybrid deep generative models (hybrid-DGMs) that integrates known physics-based mathematical expressions in neural generative models. To identify these hybrid-DGMs requires inferring parameters of the physics-based component along with their neural component. The identifiability of these hybrid-DGMs, however, has not yet been theoretically probed or established. How does the existing theory of the un-identifiability of general DGMs apply to hybrid-DGMs? What may be an effective approach to consutrct a hybrid-DGM with theoretically-proven identifiability?

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated promising capabilities in solving mathematical reasoning tasks, leveraging Chain-of-Thought (CoT) data as a vital component in guiding answer generation. Current paradigms typically generate CoT and answers directly for a given problem, diverging from human problem-solving strategies to some extent. Humans often solve problems by recalling analogous cases and leveraging their solutions to reason about the current task. Inspired by this cognitive process, we propose \textbf{MetaLadder}, a novel framework that explicitly prompts LLMs to recall and reflect on meta-problems, those structurally or semantically analogous problems, alongside their CoT solutions before addressing the target problem. Additionally, we introduce a problem-restating mechanism to enhance the model's comprehension of the target problem by regenerating the original question, which further improves reasoning accuracy. Therefore, the model can achieve reasoning transfer from analogical problems, mimicking human-like "learning from examples" and generalization abilities. Extensive experiments on mathematical benchmarks demonstrate that our MetaLadder significantly boosts LLMs' problem-solving accuracy, largely outperforming standard CoT-based methods (\textbf{10.3\%} accuracy gain) and other methods. Our code and data has been released at https://github.com/LHL3341/MetaLadder.

In this paper, we introduce Rule-Guided Feedback (RGF), a framework designed to enhance Large Language Model (LLM) performance through structured rule adherence and strategic information seeking. RGF implements a teacher-student paradigm where rule-following is forced through established guidelines. Our framework employs a Teacher model that rigorously evaluates each student output against task-specific rules, providing constructive guidance rather than direct answers when detecting deviations. This iterative feedback loop serves two crucial purposes: maintaining solutions within defined constraints and encouraging proactive information seeking to resolve uncertainties. We evaluate RGF on diverse tasks including Checkmate-in-One puzzles, Sonnet Writing, Penguins-In-a-Table classification, GSM8k, and StrategyQA. Our findings suggest that structured feedback mechanisms can significantly enhance LLMs' performance across various domains.

We introduce VisualPRM, an advanced multimodal Process Reward Model (PRM) with 8B parameters, which improves the reasoning abilities of existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) across different model scales and families with Best-of-N (BoN) evaluation strategies. Specifically, our model improves the reasoning performance of three types of MLLMs and four different model scales. Even when applied to the highly capable InternVL2.5-78B, it achieves a 5.9-point improvement across seven multimodal reasoning benchmarks. Experimental results show that our model exhibits superior performance compared to Outcome Reward Models and Self-Consistency during BoN evaluation. To facilitate the training of multimodal PRMs, we construct a multimodal process supervision dataset VisualPRM400K using an automated data pipeline. For the evaluation of multimodal PRMs, we propose VisualProcessBench, a benchmark with human-annotated step-wise correctness labels, to measure the abilities of PRMs to detect erroneous steps in multimodal reasoning tasks. We hope that our work can inspire more future research and contribute to the development of MLLMs. Our model, data, and benchmark are released in https://internvl.github.io/blog/2025-03-13-VisualPRM/.
