SPIRAL: Learning to Search and Aggregate
Jubayer Ibn Hamid, Ifdita Hasan Orney, Michael Y. Li +5
Language model reasoning can be substantially improved at test time via scaffolds that scale inference compute across different primitives -- sequential reasoning within a trace, i…
Learning Next Action Predictors from Human-Computer Interaction
Omar Shaikh, Valentin Teutschbein, Kanishk Gandhi +8
Truly proactive AI systems must anticipate what we will do next. This foresight demands far richer information than the sparse signals we type into our prompts -- it demands reason…
How Do AI Agents Do Human Work? Comparing AI and Human Workflows Across Diverse Occupations
Zora Zhiruo Wang, Yijia Shao, Omar Shaikh +3
AI agents are continually optimized for tasks related to human work, such as software engineering and professional writing, signaling a pressing trend with significant impacts on t…
Just-In-Time Objectives: A General Approach for Specialized AI Interactions
Michelle S. Lam, Omar Shaikh, Hallie Xu +5
Large language models promise a broad set of functions, but when not given a specific objective, they default to generic results. We demonstrate that inferring the user's in-the-mo…
SynthesizeMe! Inducing Persona-Guided Prompts for Personalized Reward Models in LLMs
Michael J Ryan, Omar Shaikh, Aditri Bhagirath +3
Recent calls for pluralistic alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) encourage adapting models to diverse user preferences. However, most prior work on personalized reward models…
Creating General User Models from Computer Use
Omar Shaikh, Shardul Sapkota, Shan Rizvi +4
Human-computer interaction has long imagined technology that understands us-from our preferences and habits, to the timing and purpose of our everyday actions. Yet current user mod…
Navigating Rifts in Human-LLM Grounding: Study and Benchmark
Omar Shaikh, Hussein Mozannar, Gagan Bansal +2
Language models excel at following instructions but often struggle with the collaborative aspects of conversation that humans naturally employ. This limitation in grounding -- the…
PERSONA: A Reproducible Testbed for Pluralistic Alignment
Louis Castricato, Nathan Lile, Rafael Rafailov +2
The rapid advancement of language models (LMs) necessitates robust alignment with diverse user values. However, current preference optimization approaches often fail to capture the…
Aligning Language Models with Demonstrated Feedback
Omar Shaikh, Michelle S. Lam, Joey Hejna +4
Language models are aligned to emulate the collective voice of many, resulting in outputs that align with no one in particular. Steering LLMs away from generic output is possible t…
Social Skill Training with Large Language Models
Diyi Yang, Caleb Ziems, William Held +3
People rely on social skills like conflict resolution to communicate effectively and to thrive in both work and personal life. However, practice environments for social skills are…
Grounding Gaps in Language Model Generations
Omar Shaikh, Kristina Gligorić, Ashna Khetan +3
Effective conversation requires common ground: a shared understanding between the participants. Common ground, however, does not emerge spontaneously in conversation. Speakers and…
