Meta Reasoning

Meta-reasoning, the ability of a system to reason about its own reasoning process, is a burgeoning field aiming to enhance the problem-solving capabilities of artificial intelligence, particularly large language models (LLMs). Current research focuses on developing methods that enable LLMs to dynamically select and apply appropriate reasoning strategies, often involving multi-step chain-of-thought processes and meta-level evaluations of intermediate steps, as well as incorporating techniques like model predictive control and differentiable logic programming. This research is significant because improved meta-reasoning capabilities are crucial for building more robust, adaptable, and explainable AI systems with broader applicability across diverse domains, from dialogue systems to complex robotic manipulation.
