While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has been proven to be effective, it often leads to overthinking, resulting in computational overhead, inference latency, and even degraded performance in large language models (LLMs). Existing concise reasoning frameworks significantly compromise accuracy while compressing the length of output. In this paper, we propose SKIP, a self-knowledge-guided step-wise preference learning framework. Starting with lightweight fine-tuning to adjust the model's output style, SKIP introduces a carefully designed knowledge probing mechanism to guide model to output an answer at each reasoning step. Based on the correctness of intermediate steps, we construct preference data that guide the model toward more efficient and correct reasoning by leveraging DPO. Experimental results demonstrate that our method effectively improves reasoning compression while mitigating performance degradation after fine-tuning. Besides, SKIP shows strong generalization ability on out-of-distribution datasets. We further conducted ablation studies on the component parameters of our framework.
GAOKAO-Bench is introduced, an intuitive benchmark that employs questions from the Chinese GAOKAO examination as test samples, including both subjective and objective questions that contribute a robust evaluation benchmark for future large language models and offers valuable insights into the advantages and limitations...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the Ultralytics YOLO family, emphasizing architectural evolution, benchmarking, deployment, and emerging directions from YOLOv5 through YOLO27, and examines detection, segmentation, depth, classification, pose, oriented detection, tracking, export, quantization, and deplo...
Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
