Engineering Simplicity: Simple Mechanism Interfaces Steer LLM Agents

Kehang Zhu, Anand Shah, David Parkes

Can interaction formats and textual scaffolds help large language model (LLM) agents make better decisions, and do better decisions come with better explanations? We study these qu…

Choose Your Agent: Tradeoffs in Adopting AI Advisors, Coaches, and Delegates in Multi-Party Negotiation

Kehang Zhu, Nithum Thain, Vivian Tsai +2

As AI usage becomes more prevalent in social contexts, understanding agent-user interaction is critical to designing systems that imp rove both individual and group outcomes. We pr…

Strategic Tradeoffs Between Humans and AI in Multi-Agent Bargaining

Crystal Qian, Kehang Zhu, John Horton +4

Markets increasingly accommodate large language models (LLMs) as autonomous decision-making agents. As this transition occurs, it becomes critical to evaluate how these agents beha…

LLM Bidders Preserve the Mechanism-Level Orderings of Human Bidders

Anand Shah, Kehang Zhu, Yanchen Jiang +4

Training on vast amounts of human-generated data has motivated growing interest in using large language models (LLMs) to simulate human behavior. We ask which features of human beh…

LLM-Powered Preference Elicitation in Combinatorial Assignment

Ermis Soumalias, Yanchen Jiang, Kehang Zhu +3

We study the potential of large language models (LLMs) as proxies for humans to simplify preference elicitation (PE) in combinatorial assignment. While traditional PE methods rely…

Automated Social Science: Language Models as Scientist and Subjects

Benjamin S. Manning, Kehang Zhu, John J. Horton

We present an approach for automatically generating and testing, in silico, social scientific hypotheses. This automation is made possible by recent advances in large language mode…
