Title: Can LLMs Think? Investigating the Planning and Reasoning Capabilities of Large Language Models

Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) advance in Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Generation (NLG), the focus of research is shifting towards evaluating their capabilities beyond traditional NLP tasks. A key area of interest is their ability to perform tasks requiring planning and reasoning, which are crucial for applying LLMs in complex, real-world scenarios, including autonomous decision-making, problem-solving, and strategic thinking. Our presentation explores the critical question: Can LLMs reason? Join us to delve into this emerging field’s latest findings and future directions.
