LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure

An LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure is an LLM evaluation measure that quantifies the logical consistency and structural integrity of reasoning chains produced by large language models.

• AKA: LLM Logical Consistency Metric, LLM Reasoning Integrity Score, LLM Coherence Assessment.
• Context:
  • It can typically evaluate Logical Flow in multi-step reasoning.
  • It can typically detect Notation Consistency across mathematical derivations.
  • It can typically measure Premise-Conclusion Alignment in argumentative structures.
  • It can often identify Self-Contradictions within generated text.
  • It can often assess Conceptual Stability throughout reasoning chains.
  • It can often correlate with Human Judgments of reasoning quality.
  • It can range from being a Binary LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure to being a Continuous LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure, depending on its scoring granularity.
  • It can range from being a Automated LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure to being a Human-Evaluated LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure, depending on its assessment method.
  • It can range from being a Local LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure to being a Global LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure, depending on its evaluation scope.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Agnostic LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure to being a Domain-Specific LLM Reasoning Coherence Measure, depending on its application domain.
  • ...
• Example:
  • Specific LLM Reasoning Coherence Measures, such as:
    • Mathematical Proof Coherence Score for formal derivations.
    • Physical Reasoning Consistency Metric for physics problems.
    • Logical Argument Coherence Index for philosophical reasoning.
  • Component Coherence Measures, such as:
    • Symbol Consistency Score for notation tracking.
    • Step Validity Measure for inference chains.
  • ...
• Counter-Example:
  • LLM Accuracy Measure, which evaluates correctness rather than consistency.
  • LLM Fluency Metric, which assesses language quality rather than logical structure.
