Critical Thinking

Critical thinking research focuses on developing and evaluating methods to improve human and artificial reasoning abilities, particularly in complex problem-solving and argumentation. Current research explores the application of large language models (LLMs) and other AI architectures to automate tasks like fallacy detection in misinformation and providing feedback on argumentative writing, often employing techniques like chain-of-thought prompting to enhance model performance. These advancements aim to improve educational tools, combat misinformation, and optimize decision-making processes in various fields, including telecommunications and healthcare. The ultimate goal is to create systems that not only identify flaws in reasoning but also offer constructive guidance for improvement.
