让大模型同时调用多个工具,提升复杂数学题解题准确率。
A Toolbox, Not a Hammer -- Multi-TAG: Scaling Math Reasoning with Multi-Tool Aggregation
- 同一推理步骤并发调用多个工具,融合输出增强逻辑可靠性。
- 在4个高难度数学数据集上平均提升6.0%~7.5%,超越现有最佳方法。
- 无需微调,可直接部署于开源或闭源大模型,适用性广。
将外部工具引入大语言模型(LLM)是构建高性能数学推理系统的重要方向。以往方法通常微调模型以在每一步选择并调用单一工具,在GSM8K等简单基准上表现良好,但在需要多步精确推理的复杂数学问题上表现不佳。为此,本文提出Multi-TAG——一种基于多工具聚合的框架。不同于依赖单一工具,Multi-TAG引导模型在每一步并发调用多个工具,再聚合其多样化输出以验证和优化推理过程,显著提升解题鲁棒性与准确性。该框架无需微调,仅需推理阶段应用,可直接适配任意LLM主干,包括计算成本高的开源模型及无法微调的闭源前沿模型。我们在MATH500、AIME、AMC和OlympiadBench四个挑战性基准上评估,无论使用开源还是闭源模型,Multi-TAG均持续且显著优于当前最优基线,平均提升6.0%至7.5%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with external tools is a promising avenue for developing high-performance mathematical reasoning systems. Prior tool-augmented approaches typically finetune an LLM to select and invoke a single tool at each reasoning step and show promising results on simpler math reasoning benchmarks such as GSM8K. However, these approaches struggle with more complex math problems that require precise reasoning over multiple steps. To address this limitation, in this work, we propose Multi-TAG, a Multi-Tool AGgregation-based framework. Instead of relying on a single tool, Multi-TAG guides an LLM to concurrently invoke multiple tools at each reasoning step. It then aggregates their diverse outputs to verify and refine the reasoning process, enhancing solution robustness and accuracy. Notably, Multi-TAG is a finetuning-free, inference-only framework, making it readily applicable to any LLM backbone, including large open-weight models which are computationally expensive to finetune and proprietary frontier models which cannot be finetuned with custom recipes. We evaluate Multi-TAG on four challenging benchmarks: MATH500, AIME, AMC, and OlympiadBench. Across both open-weight and closed-source LLM backbones, Multi-TAG consistently and substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving average improvements of 6.0% to 7.5% over state-of-the-art baselines.
