The process of applying logic to derive conclusions, identify patterns, or perform inference based on available premises or data.

Computational Reasoning

In Artificial Intelligence, reasoning refers to the capacity of Large Language Models to execute complex tasks through multi-step-inference, mathematical-reasoning, and symbolic-logic.

Recent Developments
