arxiv preprint – On the Diagram of Thought

In this episode, we discuss On the Diagram of Thought by Yifan Zhang, Yang Yuan, Andrew Chi-Chih Yao. Diagram of Thought (DoT) is a framework for modeling iterative reasoning in large language models (LLMs) using a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to organize propositions, critiques, refinements, and verifications. This method allows the model to navigate complex reasoning pathways, improving its logic through natural language feedback via role-specific tokens. DoT also incorporates Topos Theory to ensure logical consistency, enhancing training and inference within a single model without the need for multiple models or external controls.
