Navigating Unreliable Parametric and Contextual Knowledge: Explicit Knowledge Conflict Resolution for LLM Inference

Researchers propose MACR, a novel framework that resolves conflicts between large language models' internal knowledge and external context information using multi-agent reasoning. The approach moves beyond binary choice paradigms to actively reconcile inconsistencies, demonstrating significant performance improvements over existing methods while providing interpretable conflict resolution.

Do Models Know Why They Changed Their Mind? Interpretability and Faithfulness of Chain-of-Thought Under Knowledge Conflict

Researchers found that large language models' chain-of-thought reasoning remains remarkably consistent even when reaching opposite conclusions about conflicting information, suggesting CoT explanations don't faithfully reflect the underlying decision mechanism. While model confidence shows weak but genuine predictive signal for decisions, internal reasoning tokens proved more decision-sensitive than user-facing explanations, indicating models may not transparently report how they actually choose between document claims and training knowledge.
