From Prompts to Trees: Effective LLM-Guided Tree Generation for Few-Shot Tabular Classification

The paper introduces a three‑stage framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate rules and assemble them into decision trees for few‑shot tabular classification. By distilling LLM knowledge into interpretable trees, the method avoids the high inference costs and limited interpretability of direct LLM application while outperforming traditional decision trees in low‑data settings. Experiments on real‑world datasets show superior accuracy and interpretability with lower prompting overhead compared to existing baselines.

When Form Changes but Logic Doesn't: Building Logic-invariant LLMs through Logical Structure

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) truly grasp logical structure or merely rely on surface semantics. By evaluating models on logically equivalent inputs, the authors find that many LLMs fail to produce consistent predictions and struggle with unseen logical forms. They introduce LoGIST, a framework that maps inputs to decision diagrams and uses these logical embeddings to guide LLM reasoning, thereby reducing inconsistency and improving generalization.
