Prospects for inconsistency detection using large language models and sheaves

Computers and Society 2024-01-31 v1 Computation and Language Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We demonstrate that large language models can produce reasonable numerical ratings of the logical consistency of claims. We also outline a mathematical approach based on sheaf theory for lifting such ratings to hypertexts such as laws, jurisprudence, and social media and evaluating their consistency globally. This approach is a promising avenue to increasing consistency in and of government, as well as to combating mis- and disinformation and related ills.
