Boost, Disentangle, and Customize: A Robust System2-to-System1 Pipeline for Code Generation

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in various domains, particularly in system 1 tasks, yet the intricacies of their problem-solving mechanisms in system 2 tasks are not sufficiently explored. Recent research on System2-to-System1 methods surge, exploring the System 2 reasoning knowledge via inference-time computation and compressing the explored knowledge into System 1 process. In this paper, we focus on code generation, which is a representative System 2 task, and identify two primary challenges: (1) the complex hidden reasoning processes and (2) the heterogeneous data distributions that complicate the exploration and training of robust LLM solvers. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel BDC framework that explores insightful System 2 knowledge of LLMs using a MC-Tree-Of-Agents algorithm with mutual Boosting, Disentangles the heterogeneous training data for composable LoRA-experts, and obtain Customized problem solver for each data instance with an input-aware hypernetwork to weight over the LoRA-experts, offering effectiveness, flexibility, and robustness. This framework leverages multiple LLMs through mutual verification and boosting, integrated into a Monte-Carlo Tree Search process enhanced by reflection-based pruning and refinement. Additionally, we introduce the DisenLora algorithm, which clusters heterogeneous data to fine-tune LLMs into composable Lora experts, enabling the adaptive generation of customized problem solvers through an input-aware hypernetwork. This work lays the groundwork for advancing LLM capabilities in complex reasoning tasks, offering a novel System2-to-System1 solution.
