Post-training makes large language models less human-like

Marcel Binz, Elif Akata, Abdullah Almaatouq +76

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as surrogates for human participants, but it remains unclear which models best capture human behavior and why. To address this, w…

The Illusion of Latent Generalization: Bi-directionality and the Reversal Curse

Julian Coda-Forno, Jane X. Wang, Arslan Chaudhry

The reversal curse describes a failure of autoregressive language models to retrieve a fact in reverse order (e.g., training on ``'' but failing on ``''). Recent work…

Exploring System 1 and 2 communication for latent reasoning in LLMs

Julian Coda-Forno, Zhuokai Zhao, Qiang Zhang +6

Should LLM reasoning live in a separate module, or within a single model's forward pass and representational space? We study dual-architecture latent reasoning, where a fluent Base…

Meta-learning ecological priors from large language models explains human learning and decision making

Akshay K. Jagadish, Mirko Thalmann, Julian Coda-Forno +2

Human cognition is profoundly shaped by the environments in which it unfolds. Yet, it remains an open question whether learning and decision making can be explained as a principled…

Centaur: a foundation model of human cognition

Marcel Binz, Elif Akata, Matthias Bethge +37

Establishing a unified theory of cognition has been a major goal of psychology. While there have been previous attempts to instantiate such theories by building computational model…

CogBench: a large language model walks into a psychology lab

Julian Coda-Forno, Marcel Binz, Jane X. Wang +1

Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the field of artificial intelligence. Yet, evaluating them comprehensively remains challenging. We argue that this is partl…
