PathCal: State-Aware Reflection-Marker Calibration for Efficient Reasoning

arXiv:2605.23074v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Reasoning Language Models (LRMs) tackle complex tasks through test-time scaling, generating long-form Chain-of-Thought (CoT) trajectories during inference. These trajectories contain reflection markers such as wait, but, and alternatively, accompanying hesitation, revision, and alternative explorations. Recent test-time control methods use these markers to steer reasoning, but treating them as one coarse-grained category can obscure their distinct intervention effects. We study how marker identity and reasoning context shape these effec
