链式思维(CoT)显著提升了大语言模型在复杂任务中的推理准确率。然而,由于自回归、逐步生成的范式,现有CoT方法存在两大根本局限:一是推理过程对早期决策高度敏感,初始错误易逐级放大且难以修正;二是缺乏结构化分析手段来过滤冗余推理并提取关键特征,导致推理不稳定且可解释性差。为此,我们提出GHS-TDA:首先构建语义丰富的全局假设图,聚合、对齐并协调多个候选推理路径,为局部失败提供全局修正路径;随后基于持久同调的拓扑数据分析,捕捉多尺度稳定结构,消除冗余与不一致,提取更可靠的推理骨架。联合利用推理多样性与拓扑稳定性,GHS-TDA实现自适应收敛,生成高置信度且可解释的推理路径,在多个推理基准上均显著优于强基线,准确率与鲁棒性同步提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has been shown to significantly improve the reasoning accuracy of large language models (LLMs) on complex tasks. However, due to the autoregressive, step-by-step generation paradigm, existing CoT methods suffer from two fundamental limitations. First, the reasoning process is highly sensitive to early decisions: once an initial error is introduced, it tends to propagate and amplify through subsequent steps, while the lack of a global coordination and revision mechanism makes such errors difficult to correct, ultimately leading to distorted reasoning chains. Second, current CoT approaches lack structured analysis techniques for filtering redundant reasoning and extracting key reasoning features, resulting in unstable reasoning processes and limited interpretability. To address these issues, we propose GHS-TDA. GHS-TDA first constructs a semantically enriched global hypothesis graph to aggregate, align, and coordinate multiple candidate reasoning paths, thereby providing alternative global correction routes when local reasoning fails. It then applies topological data analysis based on persistent homology to capture stable multi-scale structures, remove redundancy and inconsistencies, and extract a more reliable reasoning skeleton. By jointly leveraging reasoning diversity and topological stability, GHS-TDA achieves self-adaptive convergence, produces high-confidence and interpretable reasoning paths, and consistently outperforms strong baselines in terms of both accuracy and robustness across multiple reasoning benchmarks.
