Title: Tracing Uncertainty in Language Model "Reasoning"
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.07776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language model (LM) "reasoning", commonly described as Chain-of-Thought or test-time scaling, often improves benchmark performance, but the dynamics underlying this process remain poorly understood. We study these dynamics through the lens of uncertainty quantification by treating the "reasoning" traces, the intermediate token sequences generated by LMs, as evolving model states. We summarize each trace by an uncertainty trace profile: a small se
