SUMMARY:Zhao\, Z. (CSE) - TOWARD VERIFIABLE REASONING IN LLMS
DESCRIPTION:Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting can improve final-answer performance\, but it does not guarantee that intermediate reasoning steps are faithful\, valid\, or checkable. This proposal studies how formal methods can make natural-language reasoning more reliable by translating CoT rationales into Lean artifacts\, checking the resulting theorem statements and proofs\, and using compiler feedback to diagnose and repair failures. The completed work evaluates direct zero-shot and few-shot auto-formalization pipelines for quantity- and logic-focused reasoning problems\, measuring proof type-check rate\, theorem-statement validity\, assumption faithfulness\, and repair behavior. The ongoing work extends this pipeline with AMR-guided semantic representations and altered-rationale stress tests. The planned work proposes methods of modeling LLM Agent thinking in Lean. Together\, these components separate two questions that are often conflated: whether a model translated the reasoning into the right formal goal\, and whether that goal can be proved once translated. The research goal is to develop an evaluation framework and a tool-supported workflow to improve the reliability\, auditability\, and semantic faithfulness of LLM reasoning. \nEvent Host: Zekun Zhao\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science & Engineering \nAdvisor: Jeffrey Flanigan \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/96068207641?pwd=anTpLhBXhIdaIhXKDTB32HlDMA6uIO.1 \nPasscode: 656037

SUMMARY:Lietz\, R. (CM) - Reflecting on Failure: Designing and Evaluating Archetype Profiles as a Tool for Self-Reflection
DESCRIPTION:Self-reflection holds significant potential for learning\, behavior change\, and emotional processing\, yet designing technologies that effectively support it remains challenging\, particularly when reflection involves difficult experiences such as failure. Most current technologies avoid negative experiences altogether\, leaving users without support at precisely the moments when reflection could be most valuable.\nThis dissertation investigates how technology can better support self-reflection through three mixed-methods studies. The first examines how people experience and reflect on failure\, revealing how identity\, self-blame\, and emotional avoidance create barriers to productive reflection. These findings informed an iterative design process through which archetype profiles emerged as a promising reflective format. The second study evaluated archetype profiles against standard graph-based visualizations\, finding that the quiz-profile sequence effectively scaffolded reflection by supporting emotional re-engagement followed by cognitive reframing. The third study extended this work into a collaborative context\, examining archetype profiles derived from sleep tracking data as shareable artifacts for social reflection. Across these studies\, this dissertation contributes empirical insights into reflection on failure and design knowledge about archetype profiles as a reflective format. \nEvent Host: Rebecca Lietz\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computational Media \nAdvisor: Steve Whittaker \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/7855885795?pwd=RS9mWXhQOXNyNmRVSzQrd1MzamJVQT09 \nPasscode: 172404

SUMMARY:Yang\, D. (CSE) - Inner Monologue: a Pathway to Human-Like Reasoning for Complex Tasks
DESCRIPTION:A central goal on the path toward general AI is to build systems capable of deliberative reasoning before action. Such systems should inspect what they know\, identify what they need\, seek or construct useful information\, and revise their reasoning through intermediate cognitive states. This dissertation studies this goal through the lens of Inner Monologue (IM)\, a mechanism that enables AI systems to coordinate internal components\, acquire external information\, and reason through structured intermediate states. \nI will first introduce IM as a mechanism for internal coordination in static information systems\, where multiple models collaborate within one AI system to solve reasoning tasks. I will then extend IM to dynamic information systems\, where AI system is learned to retrieve external information. Finally\, I will present how IM can move beyond verbal reasoning toward multimodal thinking\, where generated visual states represent the system’s current understanding and support iterative refinement. \nTogether\, this dissertation demonstrates the success and potential of human-inspired Inner Monologue mechanisms for improving complex multi-step reasoning in AI systems. \nEvent Host: Diji Yang\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computer Science & Engineering \nAdvisor: Yi Zhang \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/99915235963?pwd=7Jqo6fc83LWobTEYRZCUzbrWbeov3Y.1 \nPasscode: 7Jqo6fc83LWobTEYRZCUzbrWbeov3Y.1
