🚨New Paper!🚨 How do reasoning LLMs handle inferences that have no deterministic answer? We find that they diverge from humans in some significant ways, and fail to reflect human uncertainty… 🧵(1/10)

Had a blast at #ACL2025 connecting with new/familiar faces, explaining the many affiliations on my badge, chatting about memorisation--generalisation, and visiting stunning Schönbrunn. A shoutout to the co-organisers & speakers of the successful @l2m2workshop.bsky.social 🧡 I learnt a lot from you!

Thrilled to be in Vienna to learn about all the papers & catch up with NLP friends 🇦🇹 You'll find me at the ACL mentorship session (Mon 2PM), at our @l2m2workshop.bsky.social (Fri) and at my poster (Wed 11AM)! I'll present work w/ @vyraun.bsky.social on memorization in NMT under SeqKD #ACL2025 (1/5)

I miss Edinburgh and its wonderful people already!! Thanks to @tallinzen.bsky.social and @edoardo-ponti.bsky.social for inspiring discussions during the viva! I'm now exchanging Arthur's Seat for Mont Royal to join @sivareddyg.bsky.social's wonderful lab @mila-quebec.bsky.social 🤩

Models like DeepSeek-R1 🐋 mark a fundamental shift in how LLMs approach complex problems. In our preprint on R1 Thoughtology, we study R1’s reasoning chains across a variety of tasks; investigating its capabilities, limitations, and behaviour. 🔗: mcgill-nlp.github.io/thoughtology/

A circular diagram with a blue whale icon at the center. The diagram shows 8 interconnected research areas around LLM reasoning represented as colored rectangular boxes arranged in a circular pattern. The areas include: §3 Analysis of Reasoning Chains (central cloud), §4 Scaling of Thoughts (discussing thought length and performance metrics), §5 Long Context Evaluation (focusing on information recall), §6 Faithfulness to Context (examining question answering accuracy), §7 Safety Evaluation (assessing harmful content generation and jailbreak resistance), §8 Language & Culture (exploring moral reasoning and language effects), §9 Relation to Human Processing (comparing cognitive processes), §10 Visual Reasoning (covering ASCII generation capabilities), and §11 Following Token Budget (investigating direct prompting techniques). Arrows connect the sections in a clockwise flow, suggesting an iterative research methodology.
