New Legible Method Enhances LLM Fact Reasoning, Overcoming Two-Hop Curse

Researchers have developed a new method called Legible to improve how language models learn and utilize facts. The method addresses the "two-hop curse," where models can state a fact but struggle to reason with it to derive related information. Legible modifies the fine-tuning process to ensure that learned facts are written in a way that the model can easily access and use for subsequent reasoning steps. This approach demonstrated significant improvements in fact composition and reasoning accuracy across models like Qwen2.5, Llama 3, and Qwen3, outperforming existing knowledge editing techniques. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to language models that more effectively integrate and utilize learned knowledge, improving their performance on complex reasoning tasks.

    Write Facts the Way Models Read Them: Lifting the Two-Hop Curse

    arXiv:2611.01519v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: A language model that learns a new fact by fine-tuning can repeat it but cannot reason with it: taught that a person is a citizen of a new country, it still cannot say, without chain-of-thought, who the head of state of that person'…
