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. …”

Adaptation mechanisms of Alcanivorax facilitating its predominance in marine environments by Zhen Chen, Zhen Chen, Zhen Chen, Shizheng Xiang, Shizheng Xiang, Shizheng Xiang, Yao Lu, Yao Lu, Yao Lu, Qiliang Lai, Qiliang Lai, Qiliang Lai, Chunming Dong, Chunming Dong, Chunming Dong, Jianyang Li, Jianyang Li, Jianyang Li, Guizhen Li, Guizhen Li, Guizhen Li, Zongze Shao, Zongze Shao, Zongze Shao

“…However, Alcanivorax bacteria perform sulfide detoxification through Sqr rather than by gaining energy via sulfide oxidation Although no strain was confirmed to be chemoautotrophs, we discovered that the two clades, A. xenomutans and A. profundimaris, can grow under conditions with very low organic matter.DiscussionThe ability to utilize inorganic compounds as a supplementary energy source and adapt to carbon oligotrophic growth may contribute to the prevalence of Alcanivorax in marine ecosystems.…”
