Papers with syllogistic schemes
SylloBio-NLI: Evaluating Large Language Models on Biomedical Syllogistic Reasoning (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models are far from achieving the robustness and consistency required for safe biomedical NLI applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that leverages external ontologies to instantiate diverse syllogistic arguments for biomedical NLI by identifying valid conclusions and extracting supporting evidence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework evaluates large language models on identifying valid conclusions and extracting supporting evidence across 28 syllogistic schemes instantiated with human genome pathways. |
Reasoning Circuits in Language Models: A Mechanistic Interpretation of Syllogistic Inference (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies on reasoning in language models have sparked a debate on whether they can learn systematic inferential principles or merely exploit superficial patterns in the training data. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for circuit discovery aimed at interpreting syllogistic inference . they uncover a circuit involving middle-term suppression that elucidates how LMs transfer information to derive valid conclusions from premises. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method elucidates how LMs transfer information to derive valid conclusions from premises. |
