Using Probabilistic Programs to Train Inductive Reasoning in Large Language Models

Liyi Zhang, Akshay K. Jagadish, Brenden M. Lake +1

Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) for reasoning typically focuses on deductive tasks such as mathematics and coding where correctness is verifiable. Yet, many real-world r…

Analyzing the Benefits of Prototypes for Semi-Supervised Category Learning

Liyi Zhang, Logan Nelson, Thomas L. Griffiths

Categories can be represented at different levels of abstraction, from prototypes focused on the most typical members to remembering all observed exemplars of the category. These r…

What Should Embeddings Embed? Autoregressive Models Represent Latent Generating Distributions

Liyi Zhang, Michael Y. Li, R. Thomas McCoy +3

Autoregressive language models have demonstrated a remarkable ability to extract latent structure from text. The embeddings from large language models have been shown to capture as…

Learning Human-Aligned Representations with Contrastive Learning and Generative Similarity

Raja Marjieh, Sreejan Kumar, Declan Campbell +4

Humans rely on effective representations to learn from few examples and abstract useful information from sensory data. Inducing such representations in machine learning models has…

Improving Interpersonal Communication by Simulating Audiences with Language Models

Ryan Liu, Howard Yen, Raja Marjieh +2

How do we communicate with others to achieve our goals? We use our prior experience or advice from others, or construct a candidate utterance by predicting how it will be received.…

MacGyver: Are Large Language Models Creative Problem Solvers?

Yufei Tian, Abhilasha Ravichander, Lianhui Qin +6

We explore the creative problem-solving capabilities of modern LLMs in a novel constrained setting. To this end, we create MACGYVER, an automatically generated dataset consisting o…
