Adaptive Tool Integration for Math Language Models via Expectation-Maximization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-code-or-not-code-adaptive/)** *(2025 · 9 citations)* Math-focused language models can reason in natural language (CoT) or offload computation to Python, but current hybrid systems such as Mammoth, Deepseek-Math and Qwen-2.5-Math decide poorly when to use code. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[VL-Rethinker: Incentivizing Self-Reflection of Vision-Language Models with Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-vl-rethinker-incentivizing-self-reflection/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Haozhe Wang, Chao Qu, Zuming Huang, et al.*2025 · 52 citations* 2. **[AMR-DA: Data Augmentation by Abstract Meaning Representation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2022.findings-acl.244/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2022 · no summary yet**Ziyi Shou, Yuxin Jiang, Fangzhen Lin*2022 · 39 citations* 3.
