Title: DyCon: Dynamic Reasoning Control via Evolving Difficulty Modeling

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.07108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate remarkable performance improvements by iteratively reflecting, exploring, and executing complex tasks, yet suffer from inefficiencies due to redundant reasoning, known as "overthinking". Existing methods to mitigate this issue either rely on static difficulty estimates or require task-specific training, and thus fail to adapt to the dynamic complexity during reasoning. In this work, we em
