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…

In-Context Function Learning in Large Language Models

Elif Akata, Konstantinos Voudouris, Vincent Fortuin +1

Large language models (LLMs) can learn from a few demonstrations provided at inference time. We study this in-context learning phenomenon through the lens of Gaussian Processes (GP…

Testing the Limits of Fine-Tuning for Improving Visual Cognition in Vision Language Models

Luca M. Schulze Buschoff, Konstantinos Voudouris, Elif Akata +3

Pre-trained vision language models still fall short of human visual cognition. In an effort to improve visual cognition and align models with human behavior, we introduce visual st…

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…

Visual cognition in multimodal large language models

Luca M. Schulze Buschoff, Elif Akata, Matthias Bethge +1

A chief goal of artificial intelligence is to build machines that think like people. Yet it has been argued that deep neural network architectures fail to accomplish this. Research…

Playing repeated games with Large Language Models

Elif Akata, Lion Schulz, Julian Coda-Forno +3

LLMs are increasingly used in applications where they interact with humans and other agents. We propose to use behavioural game theory to study LLM's cooperation and coordination b…
