Optimizing Test-Time Compute for LLMs: A Meta-Reinforcement Learning Approach with Cumulative Regret Minimization

Enhancing the reasoning abilities of LLMs by optimizing test-time compute is a critical research challenge. Current approaches primarily rely on fine-tuning models with search traces or RL using binary outcome rewards. However, these methods may not fully exploit test-time compute efficiently. Recent research suggests that increasing test-time computing can improve reasoning by generating longer solution
