Research Paper Overview
Revisiting the Uniform Information Density Hypothesis in LLM Reasoning
Summary
This paper revisits the Uniform Information Density (UID) hypothesis in large language model reasoning, proposing entropy-based stepwise information density metrics and uniformity scores. Experiments on six benchmarks show that more uniform information density correlates with higher reasoning accuracy, improving performance by 10-32% on AIME2025. Correct reasoning traces avoid sharp spikes, making UID measures effective predictors of reasoning quality and useful for selecting reliable reasoning outputs.
