Whither symbols in the era of advanced neural networks?
Thomas L. Griffiths, Brenden M. Lake, R. Thomas McCoy +2
Some of the strongest evidence that human minds should be thought about in terms of symbolic systems has been the way they combine ideas, produce novelty, and learn quickly. We arg…
Steering Risk Preferences in Large Language Models by Aligning Behavioral and Neural Representations
Jian-Qiao Zhu, Haijiang Yan, Thomas L. Griffiths
Changing the behavior of large language models (LLMs) can be as straightforward as editing the Transformer's residual streams using appropriately constructed "steering vectors." Th…
Recovering Event Probabilities from Large Language Model Embeddings via Axiomatic Constraints
Jian-Qiao Zhu, Haijiang Yan, Thomas L. Griffiths
Rational decision-making under uncertainty requires coherent degrees of belief in events. However, event probabilities generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown to…
Using Reinforcement Learning to Train Large Language Models to Explain Human Decisions
Jian-Qiao Zhu, Hanbo Xie, Dilip Arumugam +2
A central goal of cognitive modeling is to develop models that not only predict human behavior but also provide insight into the underlying cognitive mechanisms. While neural netwo…
Identifying and Mitigating the Influence of the Prior Distribution in Large Language Models
Liyi Zhang, Veniamin Veselovsky, R. Thomas McCoy +1
Large language models (LLMs) sometimes fail to respond appropriately to deterministic tasks -- such as counting or forming acronyms -- because the implicit prior distribution they…
Localized Cultural Knowledge is Conserved and Controllable in Large Language Models
Veniamin Veselovsky, Berke Argin, Benedikt Stroebl +5
Just as humans display language patterns influenced by their native tongue when speaking new languages, LLMs often default to English-centric responses even when generating in othe…
Convolutional Neural Networks Can (Meta-)Learn the Same-Different Relation
Max Gupta, Sunayana Rane, R. Thomas McCoy +1
While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have come to match and exceed human performance in many settings, the tasks these models optimize for are largely constrained to the leve…
Levels of Analysis for Large Language Models
Alexander Y. Ku, Declan Campbell, Xuechunzi Bai +10
Modern artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models, are increasingly powerful but also increasingly hard to understand. Recognizing this problem as analogous to…
Teasing Apart Architecture and Initial Weights as Sources of Inductive Bias in Neural Networks
Gianluca Bencomo, Max Gupta, Ioana Marinescu +2
Artificial neural networks can acquire many aspects of human knowledge from data, making them promising as models of human learning. But what those networks can learn depends upon…
