[Paper] Generalization in LLM Problem Solving: The Case of the Shortest Path

Summary

This paper addresses the ongoing debate about whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can systematically generalize, noting that their performance is influenced by multiple intertwined factors. To better understand this, the researchers introduce a controlled synthetic environment using shortest-path planning. This setup allows for a clean separation of factors like training data and inference strategies, enabling a clearer study of LLM generalization.
