Enhancing Reasoning in LLMs through Contrastive Estimation and Representation Engineering

By Tim Condello

Large Language Models (LLMs) have made tremendous strides, yet true reasoning remains a frontier challenge. These models often struggle with complex multi-step reasoning tasks, especially those requiring logic or intermediate calculations. Unlike straightforward queries (e.g., “What’s the capital of France?”), reasoning questions demand a chain of logical steps – for example, solving a math word problem or debugging code – which pushes LLMs beyond simple pattern matching. The critical value of ad...
