A new study published on arXiv investigates the functional consistency of explanations generated by large language models (LLMs). Researchers developed a framework to test if LLMs' self-explanations align with their predictions when key tokens are altered or removed. The findings indicate that explanation reliability varies significantly across different LLM families and scales, with some models showing contradictions or over-sensitivity in their justifications.
