Understanding Human-like Solutions in Combinatorial Optimization via Learning and Search
Haijiang Yan, Jian-Qiao Zhu, Liqiang Huang +1
Humans often find good solutions to combinatorial optimization problems that are computationally hard even for advanced computer algorithms. In the Euclidean traveling salesman pro…
Large Language Models Can Take False First Steps at Inference-time Planning
Haijiang Yan, Jian-Qiao Zhu, Adam Sanborn
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to acquire sequence-level planning abilities during training, yet their planning behavior exhibited at inference time often appears sho…
Language Models Trained to do Arithmetic Predict Human Risky and Intertemporal Choice
Jian-Qiao Zhu, Haijiang Yan, Thomas L. Griffiths
The observed similarities in the behavior of humans and Large Language Models (LLMs) have prompted researchers to consider the potential of using LLMs as models of human cognition.…
Recovering Mental Representations from Large Language Models with Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Jian-Qiao Zhu, Haijiang Yan, Thomas L. Griffiths
Simulating sampling algorithms with people has proven a useful method for efficiently probing and understanding their mental representations. We propose that the same methods can b…
