About Alphazero-like Tree-Search can Guide Large Language Model Decoding and Training
TS-LLM is an AlphaZero-like tree-search learning framework designed to guide large language model (LLM) decoding and training. It uses a learned value function and tree-search algorithms to improve multi-step reasoning, planning, alignment, and decision-making capabilities. Unlike prior methods such as Tree-of-Thought (ToT) and Reasoning via Planning (RAP), TS-LLM can handle tasks with search depth up to 64 and works with language models of any size. The framework is adaptable to a wide range of tasks and can iteratively improve LLM performance during both inference and training.
