Class SelfConsistencyExecutor

java.lang.Object
com.tnsai.reasoning.SelfConsistencyExecutor
public final class SelfConsistencyExecutor extends Object
Self-Consistency reasoning executor.

Generates multiple reasoning paths for a given question and returns the consensus answer based on majority voting or other aggregation strategies.

This technique improves accuracy by sampling diverse reasoning chains and marginalizing over them to find the most consistent answer.

Based on "Self-Consistency Improves Chain of Thought Reasoning in Language Models" (Wang et al., 2022)

Usage


 SelfConsistencyExecutor executor = SelfConsistencyExecutor.builder()
     .llm(client)
     .numPaths(5)
     .aggregation(Aggregation.MAJORITY_VOTE)
     .build();

 ConsistencyResult result = executor.reason("What is 17 * 23?");
 System.out.println(result.getConsensusAnswer());  // "391"
 System.out.println(result.getConfidence());       // 0.8 (4/5 paths agreed)
