摘要:

近期研究表明,大语言模型在数学问题解决中表现出有限的逻辑推理能力,通常依赖模式匹配和记忆。我们系统分析了这一限制,聚焦于逻辑关系理解,发现与该能力相关的错误占错误预测的90%以上,而CoT-SFT未能显著减少这些错误。为解决这一瓶颈,我们提出First-Step Logical Reasoning (FSLR),一种轻量级训练框架,旨在提升逻辑关系理解。我们的关键发现是,第一步规划(确定使用哪些变量和操作)促使模型直接从问题陈述中推导出逻辑关系。通过在该步骤上训练模型,FSLR为逻辑关系理解提供显式监督,不同于CoT-SFT将此类关系隐式嵌入完整解决方案轨迹中。在多个模型和数据集上的广泛实验表明,FSLR在分布内和分布外设置下均优于CoT-SFT,平均提升分别为3.2%和4.6%。此外,FSLR的训练速度提高4-6倍,训练令牌消耗减少超过80%。

英文摘要:

Recent studies reveal that large language models (LLMs) exhibit limited logical reasoning abilities in mathematical problem-solving, instead often relying on pattern-matching and memorization. We systematically analyze this limitation, focusing on logical relationship understanding, which is a core capability underlying genuine logical reasoning, and reveal that errors related to this capability account for over 90\% of incorrect predictions, with Chain-of-Thought Supervised Fine-Tuning (CoT-SFT) failing to substantially reduce these errors. To address this bottleneck, we propose First-Step Logical Reasoning (FSLR), a lightweight training framework targeting logical relationship understanding. Our key insight is that the first planning step-identifying which variables to use and which operation to apply-encourages the model to derive logical relationships directly from the problem statement. By training models on this isolated step, FSLR provides explicit supervision for logical relationship understanding, unlike CoT-SFT which implicitly embeds such relationships within complete solution trajectories. Extensive experiments across multiple models and datasets demonstrate that FSLR consistently outperforms CoT-SFT under both in-distribution and out-of-distribution settings, with average improvements of 3.2\% and 4.6\%, respectively. Moreover, FSLR achieves 4-6x faster training and reduces training token consumption by over 80\%.
