Mihran Miroyan(@mirmiroyan):We release Recon — a new approach to reasoning synthesis for user modeling. The key insight: post-hoc rationalization ≠ reasoning. We propose using action reconstruction as a scoring criterion for synthesized reasoning traces, yielding more causally faithful reasoning and improved downstream action prediction across user modeling tasks.
