Reversing Arrows in Large Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.03512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance on text-to-knowledge graph generation and related tasks. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether they accurately model the direction-dependent semantics of inverse relations, in which reversing the order of the arguments alters the meaning of a relation (e.g., \textit{mother} versus \textit{child}). To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first systematic study of inverse relation directionality in LLMs, using a benchmark consisting of 5,457 instances spanning 27 distinc

Why it matters
“Reversing Arrows in Large Language Models” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
