The Price of Thought: A Multilingual Analysis of Reasoning, Performance, and Cost of Negotiation in Large Language Models

Sherzod Hakimov, Roland Bernard, Tim Leiber +5

Negotiation is a fundamental challenge for AI agents, as it requires an ability to reason strategically, model opponents, and balance cooperation with competition. We present the f…

Could the Road to Grounded, Neuro-symbolic AI be Paved with Words-as-Classifiers?

Casey Kennington, David Schlangen

Formal, Distributional, and Grounded theories of computational semantics each have their uses and their drawbacks. There has been a shift to ground models of language by adding vis…

A Third Paradigm for LLM Evaluation: Dialogue Game-Based Evaluation using clembench

David Schlangen, Sherzod Hakimov, Chalamalasetti Kranti +2

There are currently two main paradigms for evaluating large language models (LLMs), reference-based evaluation and preference-based evaluation. The first, carried over from the eva…

From Templates to Natural Language: Generalization Challenges in Instruction-Tuned LLMs for Spatial Reasoning

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sherzod Hakimov, David Schlangen

Instruction-tuned large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance on a variety of tasks; however, generalizing from synthetic to human-authored instructions in grounded…

Playpen: An Environment for Exploring Learning Through Conversational Interaction

Nicola Horst, Davide Mazzaccara, Antonia Schmidt +13

Interaction between learner and feedback-giver has come into focus recently for post-training of Large Language Models (LLMs), through the use of reward models that judge the appro…

Triangulating LLM Progress through Benchmarks, Games, and Cognitive Tests

Filippo Momentè, Alessandro Suglia, Mario Giulianelli +6

We examine three evaluation paradigms: standard benchmarks (e.g., MMLU and BBH), interactive games (e.g., Signalling Games or Taboo), and cognitive tests (e.g., for working memory…

Plant in Cupboard, Orange on Rably, Inat Aphone. Benchmarking Incremental Learning of Situation and Language Model using a Text-Simulated Situated Environment

Jonathan Jordan, Sherzod Hakimov, David Schlangen

Large Language Models (LLMs) serve not only as chatbots but as key components in agent systems, where their common-sense knowledge significantly impacts performance as language-bas…

Ad-hoc Concept Forming in the Game Codenames as a Means for Evaluating Large Language Models

Sherzod Hakimov, Lara Pfennigschmidt, David Schlangen

This study utilizes the game Codenames as a benchmarking tool to evaluate large language models (LLMs) with respect to specific linguistic and cognitive skills. LLMs play each side…
