Researchers introduce Self-Verifying Refinement (SVR), a multi-turn reinforcement learning framework that trains language models to self-verify their own outputs and adaptively stop refinement without external verifiers. The model produces a solution, a correctness verdict, and a confidence score at each turn, continuing refinement only when uncertain; ground-truth labels are used only for reward construction, not at inference. Trained with GRPO on Qwen3.5-2B, SVR achieves competitive accuracy on seven math reasoning benchmarks using an average of only 2.99 inference turns, outperforming fixed-budget and oracle-guided baselines. The work advances the line of research on efficient, oracle-free test-time compute scaling.
Researchers introduce LKValues, a resource suite for aligning LLMs with Sri Lankan cultural values, derived from a trilingual survey of 205 respondents. The suite includes LKvaluesIT, a 150k-instance Sinhala-English instruction corpus, and LKvaluesBench, a 1,000-instance evaluation benchmark. Fine-tuning experiments on Qwen and Aya-Expanse models show that current LLMs exhibit cultural and low-resource alignment gaps, and that LKValues fine-tuning reduces invalid outputs and cross-lingual disparities. The work offers a replicable pipeline for country-specific pluralist value alignment in underrepresented languages.
