arXiv:2606.08974v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large reasoning models (LRMs) have attracted increasing attention for their ability to solve complex mathematical problems by generating extended reasoning chains. In this work, we focus on two critical yet underexplored aspects of the reasoning process: reasoning transitions capturing the distinct transitions between reasoning steps and answer candidates reflecting the variety of solution paths produced by the model. We collectively define these two aspects as thinking schemata. We observe a correlation between the diversity of thinking schemata
The rapid advancement in large language models necessitates continuous innovation in reasoning capabilities to tackle complex problems. This research addresses critical, underexplored aspects of how these models 'think'.
Improving the reasoning capabilities and diversity of thinking in large language models is fundamental for their application in complex problem-solving domains. This directly enhances the effectiveness and reliability of AI agents and automated systems.
The understanding of how large language models generate solutions evolves, potentially leading to more robust and less brittle AI reasoning frameworks. Future model development will likely incorporate principles of diverse thinking schemata systematically.
