AERA: Adaptive Evidence Residual Allocation for Efficient Test-Time Reasoning
The results suggest that adaptive reasoning should estimate the future value of computation rather than equating present confidence with correctness, and introduce Adaptive Evidence Residual Allocation (AERA), a sequential controller that learns whether additional computation is likely to recover a better answer from checkpoint-observable evidence.
