报告摘要(Abstract)：

Despite the remarkable advances made by large language models (LLMs) in a variety of applications, they still struggle to perform consistent and reliable reasoning when faced with highly complex tasks, such as solving logical problems and answering deep questions. In this talk, I will discuss our research on empowering large language models with human-like reasoning strategies for more reliable reasoning. This includes problem formulation, planning and tool use, and learning from feedback. I will introduce three lines of our works that reflect the above strategies: 1) integrating symbolic formulations for reliable logical reasoning, 2) utilizing reasoning programs for explicit planning and tool use, and 3) analyzing self-bias of LLMs in self-correction. I will conclude by reflecting on the challenges we've faced, and mapping out prospective future directions.
