Continuous CoT for Multilingual Reasoning
This paper explores Continuous Chain-of-Thought (CoT) as a robust approach for multilingual reasoning, comparing it against standard supervised fine-tuning. Experiments on GSM8k and CommonsenseQA datasets across English, Chinese, German, French, and Urdu demonstrate that continuous reasoning significantly outperforms explicit reasoning in low-resource and zero-shot settings. Additionally, it achieves extreme efficiency with 29x to 50x compression of reasoning traces, suggesting inherent language invariance and scalability for cross-lingual tasks.

Zero-Shot Generalization to Urdu
A key finding is CODI's remarkable performance on Urdu, even when the model was not trained on Urdu data. For CommonsenseQA, CODI achieved 35.95% accuracy, significantly outperforming CoT-SFT which had Urdu in its fine-tuning data (34.73%). This demonstrates CODI's superior ability to generalize to new, low-resource languages by learning more language-agnostic representations.
