  • Recent reasoning-focused language models such as DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI o1 have demonstrated strong performance on structured reasoning benchmarks including GSM8K, MATH, and multi-hop question answering tasks.
  • To address this limitation, we introduce Retrieval-Augmented Self-Supervised Prompt Refinement (RASPRef), a framework that improves prompts without requiring human annotations or task-specific supervision.

  • We validate across 22 experiments, 5 benchmarks, 4 model families, and 3 model scales (3B-14B), with Jaccard, embedding, and NLI-based baselines at three DeBERTa scales (all ~0.51 AUROC).

  • We systematically diagnose this "modality gap" by evaluating seven MLLMs across seven benchmarks in five input modes, spanning both synthetically rendered text and realistic document images from arXiv PDFs to Wikipedia pages.
  • Motivated by these findings, we propose a self-distillation method that trains the model on its own pure text reasoning traces paired with image inputs, raising image-mode accuracy on GSM8K from 30.71% to 92.72% and transferring to unseen…

  • Among discrete diffusion approaches, Masked diffusion currently dominates, largely driven by strong perplexity on language modeling benchmarks.
  • Scaling all methods to 1.7B parameters, we show that uniform-state diffusion remains competitive on likelihood-based benchmarks and outperforms autoregressive and Masked diffusion models on GSM8K, despite worse validation perplexity.
