Can Large Language Models Reason and Plan?

no code implementations7 Mar 2024 Subbarao Kambhampati

While humans sometimes do show the capability of correcting their own erroneous guesses with self-critiquing, there seems to be no basis for that assumption in the case of LLMs.

On the Self-Verification Limitations of Large Language Models on Reasoning and Planning Tasks

no code implementations12 Feb 2024 Kaya Stechly, Karthik Valmeekam, Subbarao Kambhampati

While the initial optimism that reasoning might emerge automatically with scale has been tempered thanks to a slew of counterexamples--ranging from multiplication to simple planning--there persists a wide spread belief that LLMs can self-critique and improve their own solutions in an iterative fashion.

GPT-4 Doesn't Know It's Wrong: An Analysis of Iterative Prompting for Reasoning Problems

no code implementations19 Oct 2023 Kaya Stechly, Matthew Marquez, Subbarao Kambhampati

The study seems to indicate that (i) LLMs are bad at solving graph coloring instances (ii) they are no better at verifying a solution--and thus are not effective in iterative modes with LLMs critiquing LLM-generated solutions (iii) the correctness and content of the criticisms--whether by LLMs or external solvers--seems largely irrelevant to the performance of iterative prompting.
