arXiv:2606.01464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite expanding their multilingual coverage, the advanced reasoning capabilities of LLMs remain largely confined to a few high-resource languages like English. To address this, we propose an unsupervised Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach to enhance multilingual reasoning by enforcing cross-lingual self-consistency: the principle that a model should produce the same final answer for equivalent problems in different languages. Existing methods are limited by the scarcity of multilingual reasoning data and show weak generalization to unseen lan
The paper addresses a current limitation in large language models where advanced reasoning is primarily concentrated in high-resource languages, prompting active research into multilingual expansion.
This development proposes a method to significantly enhance multilingual reasoning capabilities of LLMs, enabling more equitable access and utility across diverse linguistic contexts.
The ability of LLMs to perform complex reasoning will extend beyond a few dominant languages, potentially equalizing their utility for a broader global user base.
