A new self-correction framework, Feedback-Triggered Regeneration (FTR), leverages explicit user feedback and Long-Term Multipath (LTM) decoding to enhance Large Language Model accuracy. This approach consistently yields 10% to 20% performance gains over initial LLM outputs and surpasses prompt-based self-correction methods across various reasoning and coding tasks.
Key insights
- Relying on LLMs' internal self-assessment through prompts for correction often degrades performance and can convert correct answers into incorrect ones.
- Utilizing explicit external user feedback solely as a binary trigger for regeneration is more effective and stable than embedding feedback into natural language prompts.
- Exploring multiple decoding paths with dynamic candidate retention (LTM) facilitates deeper reasoning and significantly improves output quality over single-path, short-term decoding strategies.
