People use fast and flat simulation to reason about new games
Katherine M. Collins, Cedegao E. Zhang, Lionel Wong +6
Games have long been a microcosm for studying planning and reasoning in both natural and artificial intelligence (AI), often focusing on expert-level or even super-human play. But…
Evaluating Language Models' Evaluations of Games
Katherine M. Collins, Cedegao E. Zhang, Graham Todd +9
Reasoning is not just about solving problems -- it is also about evaluating which problems are worth solving at all. Evaluations of artificial intelligence (AI) systems primarily f…
Resource Rational Contractualism Should Guide AI Alignment
Sydney Levine, Matija Franklin, Tan Zhi-Xuan +8
AI systems will soon have to navigate human environments and make decisions that affect people and other AI agents whose goals and values diverge. Contractualist alignment proposes…
Generation and Evaluation in the Human Invention Process through the Lens of Game Design
Katherine M. Collins, Graham Todd, Cedegao E. Zhang +6
The human ability to learn rules and solve problems has been a central concern of cognitive science research since the field's earliest days. But we do not just follow rules and so…
Modeling Open-World Cognition as On-Demand Synthesis of Probabilistic Models
Lionel Wong, Katherine M. Collins, Lance Ying +8
When faced with novel situations, people are able to marshal relevant considerations from a wide range of background knowledge and put these to use in inferences and predictions. W…
Language-Informed Synthesis of Rational Agent Models for Grounded Theory-of-Mind Reasoning On-The-Fly
Lance Ying, Ryan Truong, Katherine M. Collins +6
Drawing real world social inferences usually requires taking into account information from multiple modalities. Language is a particularly powerful source of information in social…
