Query Timing Produces Opposite Positional Biases Between LLMs and Humans
Jasin Cekinmez, Addison J. Wu, Thomas L. Griffiths
Positional biases such as recency and primacy effects have been documented in large language models (LLMs), yet the underlying mechanism by which these models make their evaluation…
Large Language Models Develop Novel Social Biases Through Adaptive Exploration
Addison J. Wu, Ryan Liu, Xuechunzi Bai +1
As large language models (LLMs) are adopted into frameworks that grant them the capacity to make real decisions, it is increasingly important to ensure that they are unbiased. In t…
Are Large Language Models Sensitive to the Motives Behind Communication?
Addison J. Wu, Ryan Liu, Kerem Oktar +2
Human communication is motivated: people speak, write, and create content with a particular communicative intent in mind. As a result, information that large language models (LLMs)…
Accumulating Context Changes the Beliefs of Language Models
Jiayi Geng, Howard Chen, Ryan Liu +4
Language model (LM) assistants are increasingly used in applications such as brainstorming and research. Improvements in memory and context size have allowed these models to become…
Rational Metareasoning for Large Language Models
C. Nicolò De Sabbata, Theodore R. Sumers, Badr AlKhamissi +2
Being prompted to engage in reasoning has emerged as a core technique for using large language models (LLMs), deploying additional inference-time compute to improve task performanc…
