arXiv:2606.26466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multilingual large language models often produce inconsistent reasoning and answers for semantically equivalent prompts in different languages. Prior work suggests that intermediate representations can be relatively language-agnostic, but generation becomes increasingly language-specific as models commit to discrete output tokens. This is problematic because language-specific lexical choices can cause semantically equivalent reasoning paths to diverge across languages. These divergences motivate searching for a cross-lingual alignment signal that
The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their deployment across diverse linguistic contexts necessitates addressing cross-lingual inconsistencies for broader adoption and reliability.
This research could lead to more robust, reliable, and universally applicable multilingual AI systems, reducing bias and improving performance across languages for critical applications.
The ability of multilingual LLMs to maintain consistent reasoning across languages could significantly improve, making them more trustworthy and effective globally.
