Large language models (LLMs) have attracted significant attention for their exceptional abilities in various natural language processing tasks, but they suffer from hallucinations that will cause performance degradation. One promising solution to improve the LLMs' performance is to ask LLMs to revise their answer after generation, a technique known as self-correction. Among the two types of self-correction, intrinsic self-correction is considered a promising direction because it does not utilize external knowledge. However, recent works doubt the validity of LLM's ability to conduct intrinsic self-correction. In this paper, we present a novel perspective on the intrinsic self-correction capabilities of LLMs through theoretical analyses and empirical experiments. In addition, we identify two critical factors for successful self-correction: zero temperature and fair prompts. Leveraging these factors, we demonstrate that intrinsic self-correction ability is exhibited across multiple existing LLMs. Our findings offer insights into the fundamental theories underlying the self-correction behavior of LLMs and remark on the importance of unbiased prompts and zero temperature settings in harnessing their full potential.

The Computational Basis of Confidence in Large Language Models
Answer-logit differences in multimodal LMs behave as monotonic readouts of a latent decision variable in simple perceptual and memory tasks, but not in complex visual reasoning.

Spectral Origins of the Self-Correction Blind Spot in Autoregressive Generation
Self-correction blind spots in residual-stream autoregressive models arise iff the product of attention Jacobians has spectral radius ≥1, with a sharp marker threshold and RL coupling condition derived from that radius.

ASCoT claims later reasoning errors are more harmful than early ones and uses a position-weighted verifier to prune and correct CoT steps, but its key evidence is internally inconsistent.

Enhancing Factual Accuracy and Citation Generation in LLMs via Multi-Stage Self-Verification
The paper proposes a four-stage self-verification prompting method but explicitly labels its experimental results as fabricated, so it cannot support its claimed gains.
