Learning to Reason via Self-Iterative Process Feedback for Small Language Models (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for enhancing SLMs’ reasoning depend on costly external signals, resulting in SLM overly confident with limited supervision signals. |
| Approach: | They propose to fine-tune and align SLMs using positive and negative feedback signals and introduce process supervision for rewards in preference alignment by sampling-based inference simulation and process reward models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves Gemma-2B's performance on GSM8K and MBPP, and out-of-domain generalization capabilities on MMLU_Math and HumanEval. |
