Researchers have introduced Joint Consistency (JC), a novel framework for test-time aggregation that improves reasoning trace aggregation by considering comparative interactions between candidate answers. Unlike previous methods that focused on isolated evaluations or answer frequencies, JC models these interactions as a constrained energy minimization problem. This approach unifies existing aggregation techniques and can be practically implemented for large-scale applications, demonstrating superior performance on math and code reasoning benchmarks. AI
