Call for Papers - Workshop on Efficient Reasoning at COLM 2026 [R]

🌟 Announcing the 2nd Workshop on Efficient Reasoning (ER) at @colm2026 — Oct 9!

📣 We welcome submissions! Submit your work here: https://openreview.net/group?id=colmweb.org/COLM/2026/Workshop/Efficient_Reasoning
🗓️ Deadline: July 12, 2026 (AoE)
🔗 Website: https://wdlctc.github.io/efficient-reasoning-2026/

💬 Topics include (but aren't limited to):
🔹 Multimodal, spatial & embodied reasoning under efficiency constraints
🔹 Curating high-quality reasoning datasets under resource constraints
🔹 Algorithmic innovations for efficient training & RL fine-tuning
🔹 Fast inference: pruning, compression, progressive generation, KV-cache tricks 🔹 Benchmarks & theory on time-/space-complexity and faithfulness
🔹 Systems to deploy long-CoT or on-device reasoning in the wild
🔹 Safety & robustness of efficient reasoning pipelines
🔹 Real-time applications in healthcare, robotics, autonomy, and more

🤝 We invite perspectives from ML, systems, natural & social sciences, and industry practitioners to rethink reasoning under tight compute, memory, latency, and cost budgets.

Hope to see you there! 🚀
