Are explicit belief representations necessary? A comparison between Large Language Models and Bayesian probabilistic models (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) have indirect pragmatic capabilities, but their performance on Theory of Mind tasks is mixed. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Bayesian probabilistic model to make inferences about others' beliefs to predict human belief inference. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the Rational Speech Act (RSA) framework in predicting human belief inferences, even though it does not explicitly encode belief representations. |
