A Decomposition Perspective to Long-context Reasoning for LLMs

ArXi:2604.07981v1 Announce Type: new Long-context reasoning is essential for complex real-world applications, yet remains a significant challenge for Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite the rapid evolution in long-context reasoning, current research often overlooks the internal complexity of the long-context reasoning task itself. In this paper, we move beyond this holistic view and decompose long-context reasoning into a set of fundamental atomic skills, and we then automatically synthesize a suite of pseudo datasets, each explicitly targeting a specific atomic skill.
