An expressivist response to the infinite regress of interpretation argument against legal interpretivism by Michał Wieczorkowski

“…To counter this argument, the paper employs the division of linguistic labour thesis, which holds that the meaning of interpretive rules depends on what legal experts mean by them. Additionally, it utilizes a sceptical solution to the rule-following problem, suggesting that the function of meaning ascriptions is expressive rather than descriptive, which implies that meaning ascriptions do not require any foundational justifiers. …”

Mitigating spatial hallucination in large language models for path planning via prompt engineering by Hongjie Zhang, Hourui Deng, Jie Ou, Chaosheng Feng

“…We introduce three key improvements: (1) To tackle the hallucination of spatial, we extract a graph structure of entities and relations from the text-based maze description, aiding LLMs in accurately comprehending spatial relationships. (2) To prevent LLMs from getting trapped in dead ends due to context inconsistency hallucination by long-term reasoning, we insert the state-action value function Q into the prompts, guiding the LLM’s path planning. (3) To reduce the token consumption of LLMs, we utilize multi-step reasoning, dynamically inserting local Q-tables into the prompt to assist the LLM in outputting multiple steps of actions at once. …”
