Papers with unified reasoning
Bias in the Ear of the Listener: Assessing Sensitivity in Audio Language Models Across Linguistic, Demographic, and Positional Variations (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances extend language understanding beyond text to speech, enabling unified reasoning across modalities. |
| Approach: | They construct and release a speech-augmented benchmark based on Global MMLU Lite and a data set spanning English, Chinese, and Korean. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is robust to demographic factors but sensitive to language and option order, suggesting that speech can amplify structural biases. |
TInR: Exploring Tool-Internalized Reasoning in Large Language Models (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods rely on external tool documentation during reasoning, leading to tool mastery difficulty, tool size constraints, and inference inefficiency. |
| Approach: | They propose a tool-internalized reasoning framework for unified reasoning and tool usage that integrates external tools into Large Language Models (LLMs) to address these issues, they propose 'tool-internet-based' reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves superior performance across in-domain and out-of-domain settings, highlighting its effectiveness and efficiency. |
