Large language models increasingly function as epistemic agents -- entities that can 1) autonomously pursue epistemic goals and 2) actively shape our shared knowledge environment.…
Uncovering Competency Gaps in Large Language Models and Their Benchmarks
Maty Bohacek, Nino Scherrer, Nicholas Dufour +3
The evaluation of large language models relies heavily on standardized benchmarks. These benchmarks provide useful aggregated metrics, but can obscure (i) particular sub-areas wher…
An evolutionary perspective on modes of learning in Transformers
Alexander Y. Ku, Thomas L. Griffiths, Stephanie C. Y. Chan
The success of Transformers lies in their ability to improve inference through two complementary strategies: the permanent refinement of model parameters via in-weight learning (IW…
LearnLM: Improving Gemini for Learning
LearnLM Team, Abhinit Modi, Aditya Srikanth Veerubhotla +43
Today's generative AI systems are tuned to present information by default, rather than engage users in service of learning as a human tutor would. To address the wide range of pote…
Towards Responsible Development of Generative AI for Education: An Evaluation-Driven Approach
Irina Jurenka, Markus Kunesch, Kevin R. McKee +71
A major challenge facing the world is the provision of equitable and universal access to quality education. Recent advances in generative AI (gen AI) have created excitement about…
Machine Psychology
Thilo Hagendorff, Ishita Dasgupta, Marcel Binz +5
Large language models (LLMs) show increasingly advanced emergent capabilities and are being incorporated across various societal domains. Understanding their behavior and reasoning…
