Are LLMs following the correct reasoning paths?


University of California, Davis University of Pennsylvania   ▶ University of Southern California

We propose a novel probing method and benchmark called EUREQA. EUREQA is an entity-searching task where a model finds a missing entity based on described multi-hop relations with other entities. These deliberately designed multi-hop relations create deceptive semantic associations, and models must stick to the correct reasoning path instead of incorrect shortcuts to find the correct answer. Experiments show that existing LLMs cannot follow correct reasoning paths and resist the attempt of greedy shortcuts. Analyses provide further evidence that LLMs rely on semantic biases to solve the task instead of proper reasoning, questioning the validity and generalizability of current LLMs’ high performances.

LLMs make errors when correct surface-level semantic cues-entities are recursively replaced with descriptions, and the errors are likely related to token similarity. GPT-3.5-turbo is used for this example.

In EUREQA, every question is constructed through an implicit reasoning chain. The chain is constructed by parsing DBPedia. Each layer comprises three components: an entity, a fact about the entity, and a relation between the entity and its counterpart from the next layer. The layers stack up to create chains with different depths of reasoning. We verbalize reasoning chains into natural sentences and anonymize the entity of each layer to create the question. Questions can be solved layer by layer and each layer is guaranteed a unique answer. EUREQA is not a knowledge game: we adopt a knowledge filtering process that ensures that most LLMs have sufficient world knowledge to answer our questions.
EUREQA comprises a total of 2,991 questions of different reasoning depths and difficulties. The entities encompass a broad spectrum of topics, effectively reducing any potential bias arising from specific entity categories. These data are great for analyzing the reasoning processes of LLMs

David Irving - Hitler----s War-la Guerra De Hitler -castellano-.pdf May 2026

El objetivo declarado de Irving en este libro de casi 1,000 páginas era "limpiar la suciedad" de la figura de Hitler para presentarlo como un líder racional. El autor se jactaba de basar su investigación en fuentes directas, como los diarios de los generales y ministros del Reich, en lugar de apoyarse en trabajos académicos previos.

Irving sostiene que la invasión de la Unión Soviética fue una "guerra preventiva" necesaria para evitar un ataque inminente de Stalin.

La narrativa se sitúa "detrás del escritorio de Hitler", intentando explicar sus decisiones militares y políticas desde su propia óptica.

Quizás el punto más polémico es la afirmación de Irving de que no existe evidencia documental que pruebe que Hitler ordenó o conocía el exterminio sistemático de los judíos hasta finales de 1943, atribuyendo la responsabilidad a subordinados como Himmler o Goebbels.
