PCRLLM: Proof-Carrying Reasoning with Large Language Models under Stepwise Logical Constraints

arXiv — cs.CL•Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The recent publication of 'PCRLLM: Proof-Carrying Reasoning with Large Language Models under Stepwise Logical Constraints' marks a significant advancement in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in enhancing the logical coherence of large language models (LLMs). By introducing a framework that constrains reasoning to single-step inferences, the authors aim to improve the trustworthiness of LLM outputs, allowing for explicit verification against target logic. This is crucial in addressing the growing concerns about the reliability of AI-generated content. Furthermore, the framework supports systematic collaboration among multiple LLMs, enabling the integration of intermediate reasoning steps under formal rules. This collaborative aspect is particularly important as it fosters a more rigorous approach to AI reasoning. Additionally, the introduction of a benchmark schema for generating large-scale step-level reasoning data represents a novel contribution that combines the ex…

Silenced Biases: The Dark Side LLMs Learned to Refuse
NegativeArtificial Intelligence
Safety-aligned large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in sensitive applications where fairness is crucial. Evaluating their fairness is complex, often relying on standard question-answer schemes that may misinterpret refusal responses as indicators of fairness. This paper introduces the concept of silenced biases, which are unfair preferences hidden within the models' latent space, masked by safety-alignment. Previous methods have limitations, prompting the need for a new approach to assess these biases effectively.

Modeling and Predicting Multi-Turn Answer Instability in Large Language Models
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The paper titled 'Modeling and Predicting Multi-Turn Answer Instability in Large Language Models' discusses the evaluation of large language models (LLMs) in terms of their robustness during user interactions. The study employs multi-turn follow-up prompts to assess changes in model answers and accuracy dynamics using Markov chains. Results indicate vulnerabilities in LLMs, with a 10% accuracy drop for Gemini 1.5 Flash after a 'Think again' prompt over nine turns, and a 7.5% drop for Claude 3.5 Haiku with a reworded question. The findings suggest that accuracy can be modeled over time.

A Multifaceted Analysis of Negative Bias in Large Language Models through the Lens of Parametric Knowledge
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
A recent study published on arXiv examines the phenomenon of negative bias in large language models (LLMs), which refers to their tendency to generate negative responses in binary decision tasks. The research highlights that previous studies have primarily focused on identifying negative attention heads that contribute to this bias. The authors introduce a new evaluation pipeline that categorizes responses based on the model's parametric knowledge, revealing that the format of prompts significantly influences the responses more than the semantics of the content itself.

Who Gets the Reward, Who Gets the Blame? Evaluation-Aligned Training Signals for Multi-LLM Agents
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses a new theoretical framework for training multi-agent systems using large language models (LLMs). It aims to connect system-level evaluations with agent-level learning by integrating cooperative game-theoretic attribution and process reward modeling. This approach produces local, signed, and credit-conserving signals, enhancing cooperation among agents while penalizing harmful actions in failure scenarios.

Identifying and Analyzing Performance-Critical Tokens in Large Language Models
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The paper titled 'Identifying and Analyzing Performance-Critical Tokens in Large Language Models' explores how large language models (LLMs) utilize in-context learning (ICL) for few-shot learning. It categorizes tokens in ICL prompts into content, stopword, and template tokens, aiming to identify those that significantly impact LLM performance. The study reveals that template and stopword tokens have a greater influence on performance than informative content tokens, challenging existing assumptions about human attention to informative words.
