  • 通过对比思考与不思考的推理路径,判断思考是否真有帮助。
  • 在多个事实性问答数据集上,错误率降低12.3%,同时保持数学推理能力。
  • 适合需要高准确率的事实性问答场景,如医疗、法律等专业领域。

大型推理模型(LRMs)通过生成显式思维链来提升语言模型能力。在事实性问答任务中,这种思维链能帮助模型恢复相关知识并优化答案,但研究发现,思维链并非总有益:它可能推翻原本正确的直接回答,导致事实性偏差。我们称此现象为“思维诱导幻觉”。为此,我们提出MARGO框架,将显式思维建模为相对于直接回答倾向的思维残差,可修复缺失知识或引入无依据关联。MARGO采用强化学习,以不思考的轨迹作为同模型参考,在混合模式轨迹组中评估思维是否带来真实价值,从而抑制幻觉型思考,保留有益推理。在多个事实性问答基准测试中,MARGO优于强基线,错误率下降12.3%;数学推理能力不受影响。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large reasoning models (LRMs) improve language model capabilities by generating explicit thinking traces before final answers. In factuality-oriented question answering (QA), such thinking often improves overall performance by helping the model recover relevant knowledge and refine its answers. However, we find that this benefit is not uniform at the instance level: explicit thinking can also overturn correct non-thinking answers and lead to factual drift. We refer to this failure mode as \emph{thinking-induced hallucination}. To explain this phenomenon, we formulate explicit thinking in factuality QA as a thinking residual over the model's direct-answer tendency, which can either recover missing knowledge or introduce unsupported associations. Based on this formulation, we propose MARGO, \underline{\textit{M}}ixed-Mode \underline{\textit{A}}dvantage \underline{\textit{R}}egularization for \underline{\textit{G}}rounded \underline{\textit{O}}ptimization, a reinforcement learning framework that uses non-thinking rollouts as same-model references in advantage estimation. By constructing mixed-mode rollout groups with both thinking and non-thinking trajectories, MARGO evaluates whether explicit thinking adds factual value beyond direct answering, thereby suppressing hallucination-prone thinking while preserving beneficial thinking behaviors. Experiments across multiple factuality-oriented QA benchmarks demonstrate that MARGO improves factual reliability over strong baselines, while evaluations on mathematical benchmarks show that it preserves general reasoning ability.
