Papers
- Self-Contrast: Better Reflection Through Inconsistent Solving Perspectives (2024 · 75 citations)
The paper asks why large language models rarely fix their own mistakes when they reflect without outside feedback. - Agent-Pro: Learning to Evolve via Policy-Level Reflection and Optimization (2024 · 52 citations)
Most LLM-based agents depend on hand-written prompts that fix task rules and behavior. They cannot improve through experience, so they struggle in dynamic multi-agent settings with hidden information. Agent-Pro tackles this by treating policy learning as gradient-free prompt optimization, with no parameter updates. - STaR-SQL: Self-Taught Reasoner for Text-to-SQL (2025 · 17 citations)
Text-to-SQL systems built on LLMs often depend on long, rigid prompt pipelines, such as GPT-4-based DIN-SQL. - Embodied-Reasoner: Synergizing Visual Search, Reasoning, and Action for Embodied Interactive Tasks (2026 · 5 citations)
Reasoning models do well at math and coding, but it is unclear whether they can handle embodied tasks. In these tasks an agent explores a room over many turns and must work with long sequences of alternating images and text. The authors present Embodied-Reasoner, a vision-language agent that combines visual search… - CoVerRL: Breaking the Consensus Trap in Label-Free Reasoning via Generator-Verifier Co-Evolution (2026 · 1 citation)
Label-free reinforcement learning for LLM reasoning usually rewards a model for matching its own majority-voted answer. - UI-Copilot: Advancing Long-Horizon GUI Automation via Tool-Integrated Policy Optimization (2026 · 1 citation)
Multimodal GUI agents perform well on short mobile tasks but break down on long, memory-heavy ones. Existing 7B models lose about 90.9% of their accuracy on MemGUI-Bench. The authors trace these failures to three causes: forgetting earlier observations, losing track of task progress, and making arithmetic mistakes. - Pause or Fabricate? Training Language Models for Grounded Reasoning (2026)
The paper examines a failure mode the authors call ungrounded reasoning. When a question lacks a needed fact, a language model often notices the gap early but then invents a value and reasons confidently to a wrong answer. The authors argue that the cause is weak awareness of when valid inference is possible, not…
