让大模型多条路径协作推理,提升解题可靠性

Multi-Path Collaborative Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning

  • 用多条并行推理路径,通过互相反馈优化决策
  • 在多个基准测试中达到当前最佳性能
  • 保持解释性与推理效率,适合复杂逻辑任务

链式思维(CoT)显著提升了大语言模型的问题求解能力,但传统CoT在解码过程中常表现出内部确定性,限制了对合理备选方案的探索。近期方法尝试通过生成软抽象标记,在连续语义空间中实现推理,但我们发现这些方法仍受自回归解码贪婪性的制约,从根本上隔离了模型与替代推理路径的可能。本文提出多路径感知策略优化(M3PO),一种新型强化学习框架,显式注入集体洞察以增强推理过程。M3PO利用并行策略滚动生成天然多样化的推理来源,并通过轻量级协同机制将跨路径交互融入策略更新。该设计使每条轨迹能借助同伴反馈优化自身推理,从而培养更可靠的多步推理模式。实验表明,采用M3PO训练的模型在知识密集型与推理密集型基准上均达到领先水平。同时保持可解释性与推理效率,凸显多路径协同学习在鲁棒推理中的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has significantly advanced the problem-solving capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet conventional CoT often exhibits internal determinism during decoding, limiting exploration of plausible alternatives. Recent methods attempt to address this by generating soft abstract tokens to enable reasoning in a continuous semantic space. However, we find that such approaches remain constrained by the greedy nature of autoregressive decoding, which fundamentally isolates the model from alternative reasoning possibilities. In this work, we propose Multi-Path Perception Policy Optimization (M3PO), a novel reinforcement learning framework that explicitly injects collective insights into the reasoning process. M3PO leverages parallel policy rollouts as naturally diverse reasoning sources and integrates cross-path interactions into policy updates through a lightweight collaborative mechanism. This design allows each trajectory to refine its reasoning with peer feedback, thereby cultivating more reliable multi-step reasoning patterns. Empirical results show that M3PO achieves state-of-the-art performance on both knowledge- and reasoning-intensive benchmarks. Models trained with M3PO maintain interpretability and inference efficiency, underscoring the promise of multi-path collaborative learning for robust reasoning.
