Papers with human problem-solving strategies
MetaLadder: Ascending Mathematical Solution Quality via Analogical-Problem Reasoning Transfer (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current paradigms generate CoT and answers directly for a given problem, diverging from human problem-solving strategies to some extent. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that explicitly prompts LLMs to recall and reflect on meta-problems alongside their CoT solutions before addressing the target problem. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms standard CoT-based methods on mathematical benchmarks and significantly improves their reasoning accuracy. |
HiAgent: Hierarchical Working Memory Management for Solving Long-Horizon Agent Tasks with Large Language Model (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to optimize agent performance by incorporating entire historical action-observation pairs into LLMs are redundant in long-horizon tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that leverages subgoals as memory chunks to manage working memory of LLM-based agents hierarchically. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves a twofold increase in success rate and reduces the average number of steps required by 3.8. |
