In-context learning agents are asymmetric belief updaters

no code implementations6 Feb 2024 Johannes A. Schubert, Akshay K. Jagadish, Marcel Binz, Eric Schulz

We study the in-context learning dynamics of large language models (LLMs) using three instrumental learning tasks adapted from cognitive psychology.

Ecologically rational meta-learned inference explains human category learning

no code implementations2 Feb 2024 Akshay K. Jagadish, Julian Coda-Forno, Mirko Thalmann, Eric Schulz, Marcel Binz

We tackle the second challenge by deriving rational agents adapted to these tasks using the framework of meta-learning, leading to a class of models called ecologically rational meta-learned inference (ERMI).

The Acquisition of Physical Knowledge in Generative Neural Networks

1 code implementation30 Oct 2023 Luca M. Schulze Buschoff, Eric Schulz, Marcel Binz

As children grow older, they develop an intuitive understanding of the physical processes around them.

Turning large language models into cognitive models

1 code implementation6 Jun 2023 Marcel Binz, Eric Schulz

We find that -- after finetuning them on data from psychological experiments -- these models offer accurate representations of human behavior, even outperforming traditional cognitive models in two decision-making domains.

Meta-Learned Models of Cognition

1 code implementation12 Apr 2023 Marcel Binz, Ishita Dasgupta, Akshay Jagadish, Matthew Botvinick, Jane X. Wang, Eric Schulz

Meta-learning is a framework for learning learning algorithms through repeated interactions with an environment as opposed to designing them by hand.

Stochastic Gradient Descent Captures How Children Learn About Physics

1 code implementation25 Sep 2022 Luca M. Schulze Buschoff, Eric Schulz, Marcel Binz

We find that the model's learning trajectory captures the developmental trajectories of children, thereby providing support to the idea of development as stochastic optimization.

Using cognitive psychology to understand GPT-3

no code implementations21 Jun 2022 Marcel Binz, Eric Schulz

We study GPT-3, a recent large language model, using tools from cognitive psychology.

Modeling Human Exploration Through Resource-Rational Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation27 Jan 2022 Marcel Binz, Eric Schulz

Equipping artificial agents with useful exploration mechanisms remains a challenge to this day.

Where Do Human Heuristics Come From?

no code implementations20 Feb 2019 Marcel Binz, Dominik Endres

Here we approach this discrepancy from the perspective of bounded rationality and our goal is to provide a justification for such seemingly sub-optimal strategies.

Emulating Human Developmental Stages with Bayesian Neural Networks

1 code implementation20 Feb 2019 Marcel Binz, Dominik Endres

We compare the acquisition of knowledge in humans and machines.
