Pragmatic Instruction Following and Goal Assistance via Cooperative Language-Guided Inverse Planning

1 code implementation27 Feb 2024 Tan Zhi-Xuan, Lance Ying, Vikash Mansinghka, Joshua B. Tenenbaum

Our agent assists a human by modeling them as a cooperative planner who communicates joint plans to the assistant, then performs multimodal Bayesian inference over the human's goal from actions and language, using large language models (LLMs) to evaluate the likelihood of an instruction given a hypothesized plan.

Learning and Sustaining Shared Normative Systems via Bayesian Rule Induction in Markov Games

1 code implementation20 Feb 2024 Ninell Oldenburg, Tan Zhi-Xuan

We hypothesize that agents can achieve this by assuming there exists a shared set of norms that most others comply with while pursuing their individual desires, even if they do not know the exact content of those norms.

Grounding Language about Belief in a Bayesian Theory-of-Mind

no code implementations16 Feb 2024 Lance Ying, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Lionel Wong, Vikash Mansinghka, Joshua Tenenbaum

In this paper, we take a step towards an answer by grounding the semantics of belief statements in a Bayesian theory-of-mind: By modeling how humans jointly infer coherent sets of goals, beliefs, and plans that explain an agent's actions, then evaluating statements about the agent's beliefs against these inferences via epistemic logic, our framework provides a conceptual role semantics for belief, explaining the gradedness and compositionality of human belief attributions, as well as their intimate connection with goals and plans.

Inferring the Goals of Communicating Agents from Actions and Instructions

no code implementations28 Jun 2023 Lance Ying, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Vikash Mansinghka, Joshua B. Tenenbaum

When humans cooperate, they frequently coordinate their activity through both verbal communication and non-verbal actions, using this information to infer a shared goal and plan.

Sequential Monte Carlo Steering of Large Language Models using Probabilistic Programs

2 code implementations5 Jun 2023 Alexander K. Lew, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Gabriel Grand, Vikash K. Mansinghka

Even after fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, large language models (LLMs) can be difficult, if not impossible, to control reliably with prompts alone.

Abstract Interpretation for Generalized Heuristic Search in Model-Based Planning

no code implementations5 Aug 2022 Tan Zhi-Xuan, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Vikash K. Mansinghka

Domain-general model-based planners often derive their generality by constructing search heuristics through the relaxation or abstraction of symbolic world models.

Solving the Baby Intuitions Benchmark with a Hierarchically Bayesian Theory of Mind

no code implementations4 Aug 2022 Tan Zhi-Xuan, Nishad Gothoskar, Falk Pollok, Dan Gutfreund, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Vikash K. Mansinghka

To facilitate the development of new models to bridge the gap between machine and human social intelligence, the recently proposed Baby Intuitions Benchmark (arXiv:2102. 11938) provides a suite of tasks designed to evaluate commonsense reasoning about agents' goals and actions that even young infants exhibit.

Modeling the Mistakes of Boundedly Rational Agents Within a Bayesian Theory of Mind

no code implementations24 Jun 2021 Arwa Alanqary, Gloria Z. Lin, Joie Le, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Vikash K. Mansinghka, Joshua B. Tenenbaum

Here, we extend the Bayesian Theory of Mind framework to model boundedly rational agents who may have mistaken goals, plans, and actions.

Modeling emotion in complex stories: the Stanford Emotional Narratives Dataset

2 code implementations22 Nov 2019 Desmond C. Ong, Zhengxuan Wu, Tan Zhi-Xuan, Marianne Reddan, Isabella Kahhale, Alison Mattek, Jamil Zaki

We begin by assessing the state-of-the-art in time-series emotion recognition, and we review contemporary time-series approaches in affective computing, including discriminative and generative models.
