💡 ML Concept of the Day: A Taxonomy to Understand LLM Reasoning Methods
Reasoning is one of the newest and fastest areas of research in the LLM space. Methods such as chain-of-thought(CoT) have become popular within the LLM community but the space of reasoning expands way beyond those techniques. Below, we provide a simple taxonomy to understand the different LLM reasoning methods. However, to understand reasoning in LLMs, it would be helpful to start by understanding the different forms of reasoning. Traditional cognitive research outlines different forms of reasoning based on knowledge:
