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…

ProToM: Promoting Prosocial Behaviour via Theory of Mind-Informed Feedback

Matteo Bortoletto, Yichao Zhou, Lance Ying +2

While humans are inherently social creatures, the challenge of identifying when and how to assist and collaborate with others - particularly when pursuing independent goals - can h…

Assessing Adaptive World Models in Machines with Novel Games

Lance Ying, Katherine M. Collins, Prafull Sharma +11

Human intelligence exhibits a remarkable capacity for rapid adaptation and effective problem-solving in novel and unfamiliar contexts. We argue that this profound adaptability is f…

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…

What's in the Box? Reasoning about Unseen Objects from Multimodal Cues

Lance Ying, Daniel Xu, Alicia Zhang +3

People regularly make inferences about objects in the world that they cannot see by flexibly integrating information from multiple sources: auditory and visual cues, language, and…

Belief Attribution as Mental Explanation: The Role of Accuracy, Informativity, and Causality

Lance Ying, Almog Hillel, Ryan Truong +3

A key feature of human theory-of-mind is the ability to attribute beliefs to other agents as mentalistic explanations for their behavior. But given the wide variety of beliefs that…

On Benchmarking Human-Like Intelligence in Machines

Lance Ying, Katherine M. Collins, Lionel Wong +6

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have yielded powerful computational models that, by learning from vast amounts of human-generated data, are increasingly posited as…

Hypothesis-Driven Theory-of-Mind Reasoning for Large Language Models

Hyunwoo Kim, Melanie Sclar, Tan Zhi-Xuan +5

Existing LLM reasoning methods have shown impressive capabilities across various tasks, such as solving math and coding problems. However, applying these methods to scenarios witho…
