Verifying Large Language Models’ Reasoning Paths via Correlation Matrix Rank

Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:2510.24299, 2025

This work studies whether a model’s internal behavior can indicate the credibility of its own reasoning. It introduces Self-Indicator, a plug-and-play method that uses the rank of a correlation matrix between a problem and a generated reasoning path to reweight candidate solutions.
