PACEvolve++: Improving Test-time Learning for Evolutionary Search Agents

Minghao Yan, Bo Peng, Benjamin Coleman +11

Large language models have become drivers of evolutionary search, but most systems rely on a fixed, prompt-elicited policy to sample next candidates. This limits adaptation in prac…

Better and Worse with Scale: How Contextual Entrainment Diverges with Model Size

Dikshant Kukreja, Kshitij Sah, Gautam Gupta +5

Larger language models become simultaneously better and worse at handling contextual information -- better at ignoring false claims, worse at ignoring irrelevant tokens. We formali…

The Bias is in the Details: An Assessment of Cognitive Bias in LLMs

R. Alexander Knipper, Charles S. Knipper, Kaiqi Zhang +3

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded in real-world decision-making processes, it becomes crucial to examine the extent to which they exhibit cognitive biases.…

Seed-Free Synthetic Data Generation Framework for Instruction-Tuning LLMs: A Case Study in Thai

Parinthapat Pengpun, Can Udomcharoenchaikit, Weerayut Buaphet +1

We present a synthetic data approach for instruction-tuning large language models (LLMs) for low-resource languages in a data-efficient manner, specifically focusing on Thai. We id…

Michelangelo: Long Context Evaluations Beyond Haystacks via Latent Structure Queries

Kiran Vodrahalli, Santiago Ontanon, Nilesh Tripuraneni +21

We introduce Michelangelo: a minimal, synthetic, and unleaked long-context reasoning evaluation for large language models which is also easy to automatically score. This evaluation…

NATURAL PLAN: Benchmarking LLMs on Natural Language Planning

Huaixiu Steven Zheng, Swaroop Mishra, Hugh Zhang +8

We introduce NATURAL PLAN, a realistic planning benchmark in natural language containing 3 key tasks: Trip Planning, Meeting Planning, and Calendar Scheduling. We focus our evaluat…

Self-Discover: Large Language Models Self-Compose Reasoning Structures

Pei Zhou, Jay Pujara, Xiang Ren +7

We introduce SELF-DISCOVER, a general framework for LLMs to self-discover the task-intrinsic reasoning structures to tackle complex reasoning problems that are challenging for typi…

Beyond ChatBots: ExploreLLM for Structured Thoughts and Personalized Model Responses

Xiao Ma, Swaroop Mishra, Ariel Liu +6

Large language model (LLM) powered chatbots are primarily text-based today, and impose a large interactional cognitive load, especially for exploratory or sensemaking tasks such as…

Take a Step Back: Evoking Reasoning via Abstraction in Large Language Models

Huaixiu Steven Zheng, Swaroop Mishra, Xinyun Chen +4

We present Step-Back Prompting, a simple prompting technique that enables LLMs to do abstractions to derive high-level concepts and first principles from instances containing speci…

Large Language Models as Analogical Reasoners

Michihiro Yasunaga, Xinyun Chen, Yujia Li +5

Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting for language models demonstrates impressive performance across reasoning tasks, but typically needs labeled exemplars of the reasoning process. In…
