Extracting Probabilistic Knowledge from Large Language Models for Bayesian Network Parameterization

Aliakbar Nafar, Kristen Brent Venable, Zijun Cui +1

In this work, we evaluate the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in building Bayesian Networks (BNs) by approximating domain expert priors. LLMs have demonstrated potential…

Learning vs Retrieval: The Role of In-Context Examples in Regression with Large Language Models

Aliakbar Nafar, Kristen Brent Venable, Parisa Kordjamshidi

Generative Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of being in-context learners. However, the underlying mechanism of in-context learning (ICL) is still a major research question,…
