Thinking Under Uncertainty: Evidence Use and Information-Seeking in Language Models

Hua-Dong Xiong, Xinyuan Yan, Ji-An Li +3

Inference-time thinking improves the performance of large language models, but aggregate outcomes do not reveal whether models use available evidence more effectively or seek infor…

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 Position Curse: LLMs Struggle to Locate the Last Few Items in a List

Zhanqi Zhang, Hua-Dong Xiong, Robert C. Wilson +3

Modern large language models (LLMs) can find a needle in a haystack (locating a single relevant fact buried among hundreds of thousands of irrelevant tokens) with near-saturated ac…

Hypothesis generation and updating in large language models

Hua-Dong Xiong

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly help people solve problems, from debugging code to repairing machinery. This process requires generating plausible hypotheses from partial…

Large language models reorganize representational geometry during in-context learning

Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Robert C. Wilson +2

Large language models (LLMs) show remarkable flexibility in adapting to novel tasks without parameter updates, a capacity known as in-context learning (ICL). Prior work has sought…

In-context superposition: human-like working memory interference in large language models

Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Jiaqi Huang +3

Intelligent systems must maintain and manipulate task-relevant information online to adapt to dynamic environments. This capacity, known as working memory, is fundamental to human…
