7 Limitations and Discussion

A possible limitation of our approach is that we focus on algorithmic reasoning, as we believe it is the best setting to assess LLMs’ capabilities in understanding a complex logic and carrying out a sequence of reasoning step, following the logic. However, we believe that THINK-AND-EXECUTE can be applied to other domains of reasoning that require following a long sequence of reasoning steps, such as multi-hop reasoning (Ji et al., 2020) and symbolic reasoning (Madaan & Yazdanbakhsh, 2022).
