Language and Experience: A Computational Model of Social Learning in Complex Tasks
Cédric Colas, Tracey Mills, Ben Prystawski +4
The ability to combine linguistic guidance from others with direct experience is central to human development, enabling safe and rapid learning in new environments. How do people i…
Policy Learning with a Language Bottleneck
Megha Srivastava, Cedric Colas, Dorsa Sadigh +1
Modern AI systems such as self-driving cars and game-playing agents achieve superhuman performance, but often lack human-like generalization, interpretability, and inter-operabilit…
Code-enabled language models can outperform reasoning models on diverse tasks
Cedegao E. Zhang, Cédric Colas, Gabriel Poesia +2
Reasoning models (RMs), language models (LMs) trained with reinforcement learning to produce long-form natural language reasoning, have been remarkably successful, but they still r…
Assessing Adaptive World Models in Machines with Novel Games
Lance Ying, Katherine M. Collins, Prafull Sharma +11
Human intelligence exhibits a remarkable capacity for rapid adaptation and effective problem-solving in novel and unfamiliar contexts. We argue that this profound adaptability is f…
