Evaluation of Deontic Conditional Reasoning in Large Language Models: The Case of Wason’s Selection Task (2026.eacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In humans, reasoning often performs well in domain specific settings, especially in normative rather than purely formal contexts. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset that explicitly encodes deontic modality to systematically distinguish deontics from descriptive conditionals and analyze LLMs’ conditional reasoning under deontical rules. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset systematically distinguishes deontic from descriptive conditionals and examines LLMs’ conditional reasoning under deontics. |
MDCR: A Dataset for Multi-Document Conditional Reasoning (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | ConditionalQA is limited to questions on single documents, neglecting harder cases that may require *cross-document reasoning* and *optimization*. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to evaluate models' ability to answer eligibility questions on single documents. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset can reflect real-world challenges and serve as a test bed for complex conditional reasoning that requires optimization. |
