CAC-CoT: Connector-Aware Compact Chain-of-Thought for Efficient Reasoning Data Synthesis Across Dual-System Cognitive Tasks (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Long chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting often slows or even degrades performance on fast, intuitive "System-1" tasks. |
| Approach: | They introduce a method that deliberately restricts reasoning to a small, fixed set of connector phrases, steering the model toward concise and well-structured explanations. |
| Outcome: | The method achieves 85% on GSM8K and 40% on GPQA while also surpassing the baseline by over 20%. |
