Researchers have introduced Yoked Feature Preference Optimization (YFPO), a novel framework designed to enhance the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models. Unlike existing methods that rely solely on external preference data, YFPO incorporates internal neuron activation patterns to guide the optimization process. By identifying neurons associated with mathematical concepts and logical reasoning, YFPO constructs an auxiliary reward signal that complements external supervision. Preliminary experiments on a small-scale model using the GSM8K benchmark indicate that this neuron-guided approach can potentially improve reasoning performance and offers a more interpretable path for model fine-tuning.
