Abstract/Index
Background. Long-context models and why evaluation matters. Retrieval versus comprehension. The MRCR training signal. LongBench v2 as the transfer target. Why transfer is non-trivial in practice. Design principles used in this thesis. What this background implies for the rest of the thesis. Why MRCR and why LongBench v2 for this study. Inference‑time reasoning and long tasks. Methods. Model and software stack. Training data: MRCR. Training objective. Evaluation benchmark and protocol. Metrics. Statistical analysis. Reproducibility and provenance. Experiments and results. Reporting conventions. Overall accuracy and deltas. Bucketed results by length and difficulty. Transitions from baseline to MRCR SFT. Error patterns and formatting diagnostics. Domain‑level accuracy.
