Self-Training Elicits Concise Reasoning in Large Language Models (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Chain-of-thought reasoning has enabled large language models to use additional computation through intermediate tokens to solve complex tasks, but current models often generate more tokens than necessary to accomplish the task, incurring extraneous inference costs. |
| Approach: | They propose to fine-tune models with self-generated concise reasoning paths obtained by best-of-N sampling and few-shot conditioning in task-specific settings to elicit concise reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces output tokens by 30% on GSM8K and MATH while maintaining average accuracy. |
