  1. Self-Evaluation Guided Beam Search for Reasoning (2023 · 149 citations)
    Large language models reason better when they write out intermediate steps, but in long chains small mistakes pile up, and the number of possible chains grows exponentially.
  2. The Role of Deductive and Inductive Reasoning in Large Language Models (2025 · 17 citations)
    Prompting methods such as Tree of Thought improve LLM reasoning by exploring many output paths, but this is expensive, and fixed prompt templates adapt poorly to harder instances.
