This AI Paper Explores Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: Enhancing Large Language Models with Reinforcement Learning and Supervised Fine-Tuning
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated proficiency in solving complex problems across mathematics, scientific research, and software engineering. Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is pivotal in guiding models through intermediate reasoning steps before reaching conclusions. Reinforcement learning (RL) is another essential component that enables structured reasoning, allowing models to recognize and correct errors efficiently. Despite these advancements,…
