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…
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…
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…
