当前人工智能技术迅猛发展的同时，其高能耗问题也日益凸显。脉冲神经网络（Spiking Neural Networks, SNNs）被认为是一种更具生物合理性、能效更高的计算 范式。 然而，目前业界仍缺乏一种在计算效率和生物合理性之间实现良好平衡的脉冲神经元模型，这成为制约 SNNs 发展与应用的关键问题之一。 具体而言，现有的脉冲神经元模型 —— 包括 泄漏积分发放 （Leaky Integrate-and-Fire, LIF）、自适应 LIF（Adaptive LIF, ALIF）、霍奇金-赫胥黎（Hodgkin- Huxley, HH）以及多室模型（Multi-compartment models）—— 主要关注于模拟神经元的动态行为，并假设神经元之间仅通过单个突触（即单通道）连接。 由于脉冲神经元的信息表示方式是二值化的，单通道连接方式使得 SNNs 难以同时编码输入信号的空间强度分布与时间动态性。这种信号编码过程中出现的信息损 失使得 SNNs 在时空计算任务中的性能难以匹敌甚至超越连续值人工神经网络（ANNs）。 近日， 国防科技大学智能科学学院胡德文课题组与中国科学院自动化研究所李国齐课题组合作提 ...

Core Viewpoint - The research suggests that Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in large language models (LLMs) may not represent true reasoning but rather a replication of patterns learned from training data, leading to fragility when faced with out-of-distribution tasks [2][10][37]. Data Distribution Perspective on CoT - The effectiveness of CoT is attributed to the "structured inductive bias" learned within the training distribution, indicating that the reasoning chains are merely reproductions of common patterns rather than genuine logical deductions [13][37]. - A theoretical framework is introduced to quantify the relationship between training and testing distributions, highlighting how distribution shifts can impact reasoning performance [15]. Experimental Findings on Generalization - In "task generalization," the model shows nearly 100% accuracy within the training distribution, but accuracy drops to 0.01% with slight distribution shifts, indicating a lack of true generalization [23]. - Supervised fine-tuning on a small amount of new data can restore performance, but this only expands the existing distribution boundaries without enhancing abstract generalization capabilities [24]. - In "length generalization," even minor changes in input sequence length significantly affect model performance, demonstrating a tendency to generate reasoning chains consistent with training lengths [26]. - The model is highly sensitive to format changes, with even minor alterations in input prompts leading to complete reasoning failures [28]. Universal Sensitivity to Distribution Shifts - The study finds that the sensitivity to distribution shifts is a common phenomenon across different sampling temperatures and model sizes, indicating that this issue is not isolated to specific models [31]. Practical Implications - In high-risk fields such as healthcare and finance, reliance on CoT for robust reasoning is cautioned against, as misleading reasoning chains can be more dangerous than outright incorrect answers [34]. - Current evaluation methods that depend on validation sets closely aligned with training distributions may overestimate model robustness, necessitating stricter out-of-distribution testing [35]. - While supervised fine-tuning can quickly enhance performance on specific tasks, it does not equip models with true abstract reasoning capabilities [36].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the introduction of a new reinforcement learning algorithm called Group Filtered Policy Optimization (GFPO), which aims to enhance the efficiency of reasoning models by significantly reducing unnecessary token lengths during inference while maintaining accuracy [2][3][9]. Summary by Sections Introduction to GFPO - GFPO is a revolutionary algorithm that balances computational costs during training and testing phases, achieving up to an 80% reduction in token length during inference [3][5]. Background on GRPO - The article explains the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) as a simplified version of the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm, which does not require a value model for baseline advantage estimation [7][8]. - GRPO has limitations due to its reliance on a single scalar reward signal, making it challenging to optimize multiple response attributes simultaneously, leading to increased response lengths [8][9]. Mechanism of GFPO - GFPO allows targeted strategy optimization for desired response attributes by sampling a larger candidate response group and filtering based on specific characteristics [11]. - The algorithm normalizes the advantages of selected responses using their average and standard deviation, ensuring that only the most relevant responses are considered for policy updates [13][14]. Adaptive Difficulty in GFPO - An adaptive variant of GFPO is introduced, which allocates more training signals to harder problems, dynamically adjusting the number of retained responses based on problem difficulty [21][22]. Experimental Findings - The article presents various experimental findings, including: - The importance of sampling more responses to reduce response lengths effectively [28]. - Token efficiency optimization leads to significant length reductions while maintaining accuracy, with reductions of 70.9% to 84.6% across different benchmarks [31]. - GFPO effectively mitigates out-of-distribution length inflation while slightly improving accuracy [32]. - The adaptive difficulty variant outperforms the Shortest-k algorithm in length reduction across multiple benchmarks [31][40]. Conclusion - GFPO demonstrates a substantial reduction in unnecessary response lengths during reasoning and validation phases, achieving a 94.4% reduction in excess length for answers and a 66.7% reduction for validation steps in specific benchmarks [44].
