💡 ML Concept of the Day: Understanding Multi-Chain Reasoning
Chain of Thought(CoT) methods are currently considered the most prominent techniques in LLM reasoning. Despite its performance effectiveness, CoT methods have known limitations in terms of evaluating concurrent chains of reasoning. Traditionally, these models would sample several reasoning chains and use a voting system to decide on the final answer, often overlooking the individual steps taken within each chain. However, this process, while enhancing performance, failed to account for the intricate connections between the steps in different chains, nor did it provide a comprehensive explanation for its conclusions.
