9 types of "Chain-of-..." approaches:

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting enhances reasoning in AI models by breaking down complex problems into step-by-step logical sequences. It continues proving its effectiveness, especially in top-performing reasoning models. However, there are other similar methods, that expand CoT and can be used for different purposes. Here are 9 of them:

1. Chain-of-Action-Thought (COAT) -> Satori: Reinforcement Learning with Chain-of-Action-Thought Enhances LLM Reasoning via Autoregressive Search (2502.02508)
Helps model decide when to keep thinking, double-check their work, or try a different approach, using special guiding tokens.

2. Chain of Draft (CoD) -> Chain of Draft: Thinking Faster by Writing Less (2502.18600)
It helps model generate short but meaningful reasoning steps, cutting costs and making processing faster

3. Chain-of-Agents -> Chain of Agents: Large Language Models Collaborating on Long-Context Tasks (2406.02818)
Uses multi-agent collaboration: Worker agents process text parts in a structured chain, and manager agent summarizes the results

4. Chain-of-RAG ->https://huggingface.co/papers/2501.14342
Creates retrieval chains, instead of retrieving all info at once. It can dynamically adjust its search process and its parameters like step number

5. Chain-of-Shot Prompting (CoS) -> CoS: Chain-of-Shot Prompting for Long Video Understanding (2502.06428)
Helps models pick frames crucial for understanding a video, using a binary video summary and video co-reasoning module.

6. Chain of Hindsight (CoH) -> Chain of Hindsight Aligns Language Models with Feedback (2302.02676)
Converts all feedback into sequences to fine-tune the model and refine outputs

7. Chain-of-Note (CoN) -> Chain-of-Note: Enhancing Robustness in Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (2311.09210)
Generates sequential reading notes for each retrieved document to assess relevance before integrating info into the final answer

8. Chain of Diagnosis (CoD) -> CoD, Towards an Interpretable Medical Agent using Chain of Diagnosis (2407.13301)
Transforms the diagnostic process into a diagnostic chain

9. Chain(s)-of-Knowledge -> https://www.turingpost.com/p/cok

8 New Applications of Test-Time Scaling

We've noticed a huge interest in test-time scaling (TTS), so we decided to explore this concept further. Test-time compute (TTC) refers to the amount of computational power used by an AI model when generating a response. Many researchers are now focused on scaling TTC, as it enables slow, deep "thinking" and step-by-step reasoning, which improves overall models' performance.

Here are 8 fresh studies on test-time scaling:

1. Scaling up Test-Time Compute with Latent Reasoning: A Recurrent Depth Approach (2502.05171)
Introduces an LM that scales TTC by reasoning in latent space instead of generating more tokens with no special training. Here, a recurrent block to processes information iteratively.

2. Generating Symbolic World Models via Test-time Scaling of Large Language Models (2502.04728)
Shows how TTS is applied to enhance model's Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) reasoning capabilities, which can be used to generate a symbolic world model.

3. Can 1B LLM Surpass 405B LLM? Rethinking Compute-Optimal Test-Time Scaling (2502.06703)
Analyzes optimal TTS strategies and shows how small models can outperform much larger ones.

4. Llasa: Scaling Train-Time and Inference-Time Compute for Llama-based Speech Synthesis (2502.04128)
Shows how TTS improves expressiveness, timbre consistency and accuracy in speech synthesis with Llasa framework. It also dives into benefits of scaling train-time compute.

5. Rethinking Fine-Tuning when Scaling Test-Time Compute: Limiting Confidence Improves Mathematical Reasoning (2502.07154)
Suggests a modified training loss for better reasoning of LLMs when scaling TTC.

6. Adaptive Graph of Thoughts: Test-Time Adaptive Reasoning Unifying Chain, Tree, and Graph Structures (2502.05078)
Unifies the strengths of chain, tree, and graph paradigms into one framework that expands reasoning only on necessary subproblems.

7. Sample, Scrutinize and Scale: Effective Inference-Time Search by Scaling Verification (2502.01839)
Explores scaling trends of self-verification and how to improve its capabilities with TTC.

8. CodeMonkeys: Scaling Test-Time Compute for Software Engineering (2501.14723)
Explores how scaling serial compute (iterations) and parallel compute (trajectories), can improve accuracy in real-world software engineering issues.

  • Topic-FlipRAG: Adversarial Opinion Manipulation -> https://huggingface.co/papers/2502.01386
    Demonstrates a two-stage adversarial attack that manipulates RAG-generated opinions on sensitive topics. Alters retrieval rankings and LLM reasoning to subtly flip the stance of generated answers, exposing the difficulty of mitigating semantic-level manipulation.

  • Experiments with LLMs on RAG for Closed-Source Simulation Software -> https://huggingface.co/papers/2502.03916
    Tests how RAG can support proprietary software by injecting relevant documentation dynamically. Shows that retrieval helps mitigate hallucinations in closed-source contexts, though some knowledge gaps remain, necessitating further improvements.

  • Health-RAG -> https://huggingface.co/papers/2502.04666
