Detecting Inconsistencies in Model Specifications with LLM-as-Verifier Reasoning

Detecting Inconsistencies in Model Specifications with LLM-as-Verifier Reasoning introduces VeriSpec, a method that audits natural‑language model specifications directly using an LLM as a verifier. VeriSpec extracts structured rules, builds a topic‑guided graph to cluster related rules, and applies LLM‑based reasoning to find inconsistencies. In a case study on the OpenAI Model Spec, it identified 405 rules, validated five inconsistencies, and outperformed five baselines with the highest precision and lowest cost per validated inconsistency.

Testing LLM Arithmetic Reasoning Generalization with Automatic Numeric-Remapping Attacks

Large language models achieve strong performance on arithmetic reasoning benchmarks, and one common response to arithmetic brittleness is to delegate computation to code. Yet models are still often used in settings where they must reason directly from natural language, and trustworthy models should solve small-number arithmetic word problems without external tools.

Do Language Models Follow Occam's Razor? An Evaluation of Parsimony in Inductive and Abductive Reasoning

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) follow Occam's Razor when performing inductive and abductive reasoning. It introduces a synthetic framework for generating questions that require both types of reasoning and a new automated metric to evaluate the simplicity and correctness of generated hypotheses. Experiments show that while LLMs can handle simple scenarios, they struggle with complex world models and producing high‑quality, simplest hypotheses, even when using advanced reasoning techniques.

Repairing LLM-Generated Specifications with Deterministic Diagnosis

The paper introduces DRAGO, a framework that repairs formal specifications generated by large language models (LLMs) using deterministic, formalism‑specific diagnosis instead of ungrounded LLM critiques. DRAGO selectively rewrites specifications only when the diagnosed error weight decreases, reducing regressions from 11.8% to 1.3% and improving answer accuracy by 12.9 percentage points over zero‑shot formalization and 8.7 percentage points over LLM‑diagnostic repair across five benchmarks. Additionally, the authors identified and corrected rendering defects in Planetarium that caused half of its floor‑tile split instances to be inconsistent with reference formalizations.
