Resample the Answer: Where to Spend Test-Time Compute in Recursive Reasoning
Separately perturbs the answer state and the reasoning state of a recursive puzzle solver to study where extra search is useful. Uses the model's halting prediction to trigger restarts that resample the answer state.

Recurrent reasoning — Repeat parts of the model or keep intermediate information in memory while working through a problem. Some methods also learn how many passes to run.
Analysis and evaluation — Measure how well these methods work, investigate what their internal computation does, and identify where they fail. This includes experiments, studies of model internals, and mathematical results.
