PACE: Defying the Scaling Hypothesis of Exploration in Iterative Alignment for Mathematical Reasoning

One-line Summary

PACE introduces a more efficient method for mathematical reasoning in language models by using minimal exploration, outperforming traditional methods with less computational cost.

Plain-language Overview

Researchers have developed a new method called PACE to improve how large language models solve math problems. Traditional methods require extensive exploration to find the best solutions, but this can lead to errors and inefficiencies. PACE uses a smarter approach that involves less exploration, focusing instead on correcting mistakes from previous attempts. This method not only performs better than existing ones but also uses significantly less computing power.
