Comparing Inferential Strategies of Humans and Large Language Models in Deductive Reasoning

Understand

Deductive reasoning plays a pivotal role in the formulation of sound and cohesive arguments.

• It allows individuals to draw conclusions that logically follow, given the truth value of the information provided.
• Recent progress in the domain of large language models (LLMs) has showcased their capability in executing deductive reasoning tasks.
• Nonetheless, a significant portion of research primarily assesses the accuracy of LLMs in solving such tasks, often overlooking a deeper analysis of their reasoning behavior.
