Chemical language models (CLMs) are trained with linearized representations such as SMILES, yet it remains unclear which chemically meaningful substructures they encode. To foster a better understanding of CLMs, we conduct a systematic study and probe for 78 molecular substructur…
Parallel thinking has enjoyed great success for boosting LLM performance on reasoning tasks without the need for any re-training. However, existing methods follow a think-first-then-decide paradigm, i.e., they first sample multiple reasoning paths, which inevitably leads to overg…
