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…
Can we automatize scientific discovery in the cognitive sciences?
Akshay K. Jagadish, Milena Rmus, Kristin Witte +3
The cognitive sciences aim to understand intelligence by formalizing underlying operations as computational models. Traditionally, this follows a cycle of discovery where researche…
Generating Computational Cognitive Models using Large Language Models
Milena Rmus, Akshay K. Jagadish, Marvin Mathony +2
Computational cognitive models, which formalize theories of cognition, enable researchers to quantify cognitive processes and arbitrate between competing theories by fitting models…
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…
