Abstract

We investigate whether performing reasoning in a continuous latent space leads to more robust multilingual capabilities. We compare Continuous Chain-of-Thought (using the CODI framework) against standard supervised fine-tuning across five typologically diverse languages: English, Chinese, German, French, and Urdu. Our experiments on GSM8k and CommonsenseQA demonstrate that continuous reasoning significantly outperforms explicit reasoning on low-resource languages, particularly in zero-shot settings where the target language was not seen during training. Additionally, this approach achieves extreme efficiency, compressing reasoning traces by approximately $29\times$ to $50\times$. These findings indicate that continuous latent representations naturally exhibit greater language invariance, offering a scalable solution for cross-lingual reasoning.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
