Polina Tsvilodub, Fausto Carcassi, Michael Franke
Pragmatic language use requires reasoning about alternatives: the alternative expressions a speaker might have chosen, or the alternative interpretations a listener might entertain…
2-Step Agent: A Framework for the Interaction of a Decision Maker with AI Decision Support
Otto Nyberg, Fausto Carcassi, Davide Tugnoli +1
Predictions from ML models support human decision making in several fields, including high-stakes ones such as healthcare and the judiciary. Yet, we still lack a clear understandin…
Cognitive Modeling with Scaffolded LLMs: A Case Study of Referential Expression Generation
Polina Tsvilodub, Michael Franke, Fausto Carcassi
To what extent can LLMs be used as part of a cognitive model of language generation? In this paper, we approach this question by exploring a neuro-symbolic implementation of an alg…
Bayesian Statistical Modeling with Predictors from LLMs
Michael Franke, Polina Tsvilodub, Fausto Carcassi
State of the art large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance on a variety of benchmark tasks and are increasingly used as components in larger applications, wher…
