This work proposes Long Chain-of-Thought Graph Verifier (LCoT-GV), a graph-based framework that represents LCoTs as reasoning graphs, each node in the graph represents a reasoning step and the edges encode semantic and logical relations.
Abstract
Large Reasoning Models produce Long Chains-of-Thought (LCoTs) which involve breaking down the problem into smaller reasoning steps before reaching the conclusion. However, these steps often contain contradictions, unsupported inferences, or irrelevant steps, even when the final answer is correct. We propose Long Chain-of-Thought Graph Verifier (LCoT-GV), a graph-based framework that represents LCoTs as reasoning graphs. Each node in the graph represents a reasoning step and the edges encode semantic and logical relations. A Graph Attention Network is then trained to predict chain-of-thought correctness from the reasoning graph. We construct a new graph-oriented verification dataset from multiple reasoning benchmarks for question answering in various domains. The results show that our method is competitive with the most similar approaches.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.
