TIME: Temporally Intelligent Meta-reasoning Engine for Context-Triggered Explicit Reasoning (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Reasoning-oriented language models expose explicit reasoning as a long, front-loaded chain of “thinking” tokens before the main output, either always enabled or externally toggled at inference time. |
| Approach: | They introduce a behavioral alignment framework that learns explicit reasoning as a context-triggered control policy rather than a fixed response mode. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves TIMEBench scores over the base model in thinking and no-thinking modes while keeping output compact. |
