Strong closed models such as GPT-4 can do this, but they are costly, cannot be fine-tuned, and need all character details placed in the prompt. RoleLLM addresses this with a four-stage pipeline. First, the authors… 2. **[Can Large Language Models Detect Errors in Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/he-2025-can-large-language-models-detect/)** *(2025 · 30 citations)* Reasoning models in the o1 style produce very long chains of thought (CoT). Until this paper, there was no systematic way to check how good those chains are, or whether other models can find the mistakes in them. The authors built DeltaBench to address both gaps. It contains 1,236 problems from Math, Programming, PCB… 3. **[CriticLean: Critic-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Mathematical Formalization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/peng-2026-criticlean-critic-guided-reinforcement-learning/)** *(2026 · 12 citations)* Turning informal math problems into Lean 4 theorem statements often produces code that compiles but does not mean what the original problem says. 4. **[SCALER: Synthetic Scalable Adaptive Learning Environment for Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-scaler-synthetic-scalable-adaptive-learning/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* RL post-training for LLM reasoning tends to stall for two reasons. Tasks can drift out of step with the model, becoming either trivially easy or hopelessly hard, so rewards turn sparse. Training can also keep cycling through a small set of problem patterns. SCALER tackles both issues. Its first part is a synthesis… ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
