The survey proposes a three-phase conflict-resolution framework: (1) training phase to mitigate internal parameter inconsistency, (2) generation phase with algorithmic decoding intervention, (3) post-hoc phase with post-processing correction.

Summary

This frames fixing contradictions in AI outputs as a layered pipeline: clean up the model's internal logic during training, steer the text-generation process itself, and then catch any remaining errors in a final pass. It matters because it implies no single intervention point is sufficient — the system needs overlapping safeguards across the entire lifecycle to handle conflicting beliefs or inconsistencies.
