A comprehensive survey of reasoning with foundation models, covering tasks, methods, benchmarks, and future directions.
Task coverage: Surveys math reasoning, commonsense reasoning, logical reasoning, symbolic reasoning, and multimodal reasoning - showing how each evolves with model scale.
Methodology catalog: Covers prompting techniques (CoT, ToT, self-consistency), fine-tuning strategies, and neurosymbolic approaches under a unified framework.
Benchmarks: Systematizes the reasoning benchmarks landscape and flags contamination and robustness concerns specific to reasoning evaluation.
Adjacencies: Discusses how multimodal learning, autonomous agents, and super-alignment research intersect with and extend the reasoning agenda.
