MathGAP: Out-of-Distribution Evaluation on Problems with Arbitrarily Complex Proofs

Andreas Opedal, Haruki Shirakami, Bernhard Schölkopf +2

Large language models (LLMs) can solve arithmetic word problems with high accuracy, but little is known about how well they generalize to more complex problems. This is difficult t…

Language Model Alignment in Multilingual Trolley Problems

Zhijing Jin, Max Kleiman-Weiner, Giorgio Piatti +9

We evaluate the moral alignment of LLMs with human preferences in multilingual trolley problems. Building on the Moral Machine experiment, which captures over 40 million human judg…

Accuracy on the wrong line: On the pitfalls of noisy data for out-of-distribution generalisation

Amartya Sanyal, Yaxi Hu, Yaodong Yu +3

"Accuracy-on-the-line" is a widely observed phenomenon in machine learning, where a model's accuracy on in-distribution (ID) and out-of-distribution (OOD) data is positively correl…

On Affine Homotopy between Language Encoders

Robin SM Chan, Reda Boumasmoud, Anej Svete +8

Pre-trained language encoders -- functions that represent text as vectors -- are an integral component of many NLP tasks. We tackle a natural question in language encoder analysis:…

Do LLMs Think Fast and Slow? A Causal Study on Sentiment Analysis

Zhiheng Lyu, Zhijing Jin, Fernando Gonzalez +3

Sentiment analysis (SA) aims to identify the sentiment expressed in a text, such as a product review. Given a review and the sentiment associated with it, this work formulates SA a…

Provable Privacy with Non-Private Pre-Processing

Yaxi Hu, Amartya Sanyal, Bernhard Schölkopf

When analysing Differentially Private (DP) machine learning pipelines, the potential privacy cost of data-dependent pre-processing is frequently overlooked in privacy accounting. I…

Skill or Luck? Return Decomposition via Advantage Functions

Hsiao-Ru Pan, Bernhard Schölkopf

Learning from off-policy data is essential for sample-efficient reinforcement learning. In the present work, we build on the insight that the advantage function can be understood a…

CLadder: Assessing Causal Reasoning in Language Models

Zhijing Jin, Yuen Chen, Felix Leeb +8

The ability to perform causal reasoning is widely considered a core feature of intelligence. In this work, we investigate whether large language models (LLMs) can coherently reason…

Do Language Models Exhibit the Same Cognitive Biases in Problem Solving as Human Learners?

Andreas Opedal, Alessandro Stolfo, Haruki Shirakami +5

There is increasing interest in employing large language models (LLMs) as cognitive models. For such purposes, it is central to understand which properties of human cognition are w…
