UnverifiedIn the instruction fine-tuning phase of many MLLMs, task descriptions often immediately follow the evidence, which may cause the model to learn an inductive bias of prioritizing the most recently read evidence before responding.75% similarUnverifiedLLMs' probability judgments drift under the influence of irrelevant factors such as how evidence is framed and the order in which it is presented.71% similarUnverifiedWhen perceptual evidence and textual descriptions in a multimodal prompt may conflict, their positional arrangement within the context affects which source the model ultimately trusts.70% similarUnverifiedThe study found that even when prompts explicitly instruct the model to answer from a prospective perspective, the model is still influenced by outcome information already present in the context, and physical truncation is the effective means of blocking hindsight bias.69% similarUnverifiedThe paper examined the impact of 4 context types on LLM reasoning results, finding that the form and scope of provided context significantly alters reasoning performance.69% similar
