CoTFormer architecture formalizes Chain-of-Thought as recurrent computation

Researchers have formalized the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning process into a recurrent neural network architecture called CoTFormer. This architecture treats intermediate states as attendable representations, mimicking explicit reasoning traces. The study evaluates CoTFormer and its variations on perplexity and computational efficiency, and further assesses its potential for out-of-distribution generalization in inductive reasoning tasks.
