A fundamental challenge in reasoning is navigating hypothetical, counterfactual worlds where logic may conflict with ingrained knowledge. We investigate this frontier for Large Language Models (LLMs) by asking: Can LLMs reason logically…

The widespread application of pre-trained language models (PLMs) in natural language processing (NLP) has led to increasing concerns about their explainability. Selective rationalization is a self-explanatory framework that selects…
