Exploring Backward Reasoning in Large Language Models (2025.findings-naacl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Multi-step reasoning through in-context learning strategies have been extensively explored, highlighting the abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve problems in a step-wise manner.
Approach: They propose to use Large Language Models to generate answers from step-by-step reasoning by re-constructing the original question that led to the final answer.
Outcome: The proposed models show that they are able to reason about the conclusion and reconstruct the original question that led to the final answer.
