Beyond A*: Better Planning with Transformers via Search Dynamics Bootstrapping

STaR: Bootstrapping Reasoning With Reasoning
- Introduces the concept: "Self-Taught Reasoner" (STaR) or *, where LLM improves its reasoning by learning from its own reasoning: model is asked to generate rationalizations to questions. If rationalization derives wrong answer to question, the rationalization is repeated by giving it as well the correct answer. All rationalizations leading to correct answer are used for fine-tuning the LLM model. This process is repeated and each iteration improves the LLMs capability of reasoning.
- The paper does not refer to Self-Recursive Learning, but we could argue it as an example of this process in the context of reasoning.
