New framework detects unfaithful chain-of-thought reasoning in LLMs

Researchers have developed a new framework called CIE-Scorer to detect when a large language model's chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning does not accurately reflect its internal decision-making process. This method combines external signals, like answer consistency, with internal computational evidence derived from tracing model circuits. By efficiently constructing sentence-level circuits and comparing internal and external reasoning graphs, CIE-Scorer identifies discrepancies, achieving state-of-the-art performance on CoT unfaithfulness detection while reducing computational costs.

    Detecting Unfaithful Chain-of-Thought via Circuit-Guided Internal-External Discrepancy

    arXiv:2605.25603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning improves the problem-solving ability of large language models (LLMs), but generated reasoning traces may not faithfully reflect the model's actual decision process. Existing CoT unfaithfulness detect…
