让大模型主动提问,提升推理准确率并减少无效计算。

Reasoning While Asking: Transforming Reasoning Large Language Models from Passive Solvers to Proactive Inquirers

  • 引入主动交互推理机制,模型在不确定时主动向用户求证。
  • 数学与代码任务中准确率提升32.7%,推理计算量减半。
  • 适合需要高可靠性的交互式AI应用,如智能助手、编程辅助。

面向推理的大语言模型(LLM)虽在思维链(CoT)提示下取得显著进展,但仍受限于‘盲自思’范式:即使关键信息缺失或模糊,仍进行大量内部推理。本文提出主动交互推理(PIR)新范式,将模型从被动求解者转变为积极提问者,通过与用户直接交互来缓解前提与意图层面的不确定性。PIR由两个核心组件实现:(1) 基于不确定性感知的监督微调,赋予模型交互推理能力;(2) 基于用户模拟器的策略优化框架,采用复合奖励机制对齐模型行为与用户意图。在数学推理、代码生成和文档编辑任务上的实验表明,PIR持续优于强基线,准确率最高提升32.70%,通过率提高22.90%,BLEU提升41.36,同时减少近一半的推理计算和无意义交互轮次。在事实知识、问答及缺前提场景下的可靠性评估进一步验证了PIR的泛化性与鲁棒性。模型与代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reasoning-oriented Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress with Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, yet they remain fundamentally limited by a \emph{blind self-thinking} paradigm: performing extensive internal reasoning even when critical information is missing or ambiguous. We propose Proactive Interactive Reasoning (PIR), a new reasoning paradigm that transforms LLMs from passive solvers into proactive inquirers that interleave reasoning with clarification. Unlike existing search- or tool-based frameworks that primarily address knowledge uncertainty by querying external environments, PIR targets premise- and intent-level uncertainty through direct interaction with the user. PIR is implemented via two core components: (1) an uncertainty-aware supervised fine-tuning procedure that equips models with interactive reasoning capability, and (2) a user-simulator-based policy optimization framework driven by a composite reward that aligns model behavior with user intent. Extensive experiments on mathematical reasoning, code generation, and document editing demonstrate that PIR consistently outperforms strong baselines, achieving up to 32.70\% higher accuracy, 22.90\% higher pass rate, and 41.36 BLEU improvement, while reducing nearly half of the reasoning computation and unnecessary interaction turns. Further reliability evaluations on factual knowledge, question answering, and missing-premise scenarios confirm the strong generalization and robustness of PIR.
