arXiv paper examines deductive, inductive and abductive reasoning in language models
A revised arXiv preprint analyzes how language models handle three forms of reasoning: deduction, induction, and abduction. The authors compare ways tasks are specified to models, such as explicit instructions versus few-shot examples, and argue that current evaluations leave parts of the reasoning picture unresolved. The work is a research paper rather than a product or model release.
