GIANTS: Generative Insight Anticipation from Scientific Literature
Joy He-Yueya, Anikait Singh, Ge Gao +5
Scientific breakthroughs often emerge from synthesizing prior ideas into novel contributions. While language models (LMs) show promise in scientific discovery, their ability to per…
Human-like Affective Cognition in Foundation Models
Kanishk Gandhi, Zoe Lynch, Jan-Philipp Fränken +5
Understanding emotions is fundamental to human interaction and experience. Humans easily infer emotions from situations or facial expressions, situations from emotions, and do a va…
Endless Terminals: Scaling RL Environments for Terminal Agents
Kanishk Gandhi, Shivam Garg, Noah D. Goodman +1
Environments are the bottleneck for self-improving agents. Current terminal benchmarks were built for evaluation, not training; reinforcement learning requires a scalable pipeline,…
Learning to Simulate Human Dialogue
Kanishk Gandhi, Agam Bhatia, Noah D. Goodman
To predict what someone will say is to model how they think. We study this through next-turn dialogue prediction: given a conversation, predict the next utterance produced by a per…
BoxingGym: Benchmarking Progress in Automated Experimental Design and Model Discovery
Kanishk Gandhi, Michael Y. Li, Lyle Goodyear +5
Understanding the world and explaining it with scientific theories is a central aspiration of artificial intelligence research. Proposing theories, designing experiments to test th…
Cognitive Behaviors that Enable Self-Improving Reasoners, or, Four Habits of Highly Effective STaRs
Kanishk Gandhi, Ayush Chakravarthy, Anikait Singh +2
Test-time inference has emerged as a powerful paradigm for enabling language models to ``think'' longer and more carefully about complex challenges, much like skilled human experts…
