Re2: UNLOCKING LLM REASONING VIA REINFORCEMENT LEARNING WITH RE-SOLVING
This research introduces Re², a novel reinforcement learning framework that empowers Large Language Models (LLMs) to intelligently abandon unproductive reasoning paths and restart their problem-solving process. By addressing the critical limitation of current RLVR methods—where LLMs often overthink or struggle to recover from suboptimal early reasoning—Re² significantly enhances reasoning performance and test-time scalability. It achieves this by teaching models to recognize when a chain-of-thought is unproductive and to re-solve from scratch, leading to more rational and accurate outcomes.

20%
of incorrect responses show significant accuracy drop from first 20% of CoT
Traditional RLVR models often struggle to recover from early misguided reasoning. Our analysis reveals that for most incorrect responses, a significant drop in accuracy already occurs when only the first 20% of the response is used as the prefix, highlighting the critical importance of early reasoning quality.

Example: AIME 24 Problem with DAPO vs. Re²
In a challenging AIME problem, both DAPO and Re² initially attempted an incorrect approach using the AM-GM inequality. However, Re² demonstrated its self-awareness by detecting the failure of the initial path and restarting the solution process from scratch. This re-evaluation led Re² to a successful alternative approach, ultimately arriving at the correct answer. In contrast, DAPO continued along the flawed trajectory, resulting in a wrong answer.
Re² detects failure, restarts, and arrives at the correct answer, showcasing enhanced rationality and problem-solving flexibility.
