  LLMs have shown strong performance on human-centric reasoning tasks. While previous evaluations have explored whether LLMs can infer intentions or detect deception, they often overlook the individuali…
• Inspecting and Editing Knowledge Representations in Language Models
  Neural language models (LMs) represent facts about the world described by text. Sometimes these facts derive from training data (in most LMs, a representation of the word banana encodes the fact that …
• LLM Strategic Reasoning: Agentic Study through Behavioral Game Theory
  What does it truly mean for a language model to “reason” strategically, and can scaling up alone guarantee intelligent, context-aware decisions? Strategic decision-making requires adaptive reasoning, …
• LLMs as Method Actors: A Model for Prompt Engineering and Architecture
  We introduce “Method Actors” as a mental model for guiding LLM prompt engineering and prompt architecture. Under this mental model, LLMs should be thought of as actors; prompts as scripts and cues; an…
• MetaMind: Modeling Human Social Thoughts with Metacognitive Multi-Agent Systems
  Human social interactions depend on the ability to infer others’ unspoken intentions, emotions, and beliefs—a cognitive skill grounded in the psychological concept of Theory of Mind (ToM). While large…
• Multi-agent cooperation through in-context co-player inference
  Achieving cooperation among self-interested agents remains a fundamental challenge in multi-agent reinforcement learning. Recent work showed that mutual cooperation can be induced between “learningawa…
• On the Adaptive Psychological Persuasion of Large Language Models
  However, systematic exploration of their dual capabilities to autonomously persuade and resist persuasion, particularly in contexts involving psychological rhetoric, remains unexplored. In this paper,…
• Open Models, Closed Minds? On Agents Capabilities in Mimicking Human Personalities through Open Large Language Models
  Our approach involves evaluating the intrinsic personality traits of Open LLM agents and determining the extent to which these agents can mimic human personalities when conditioned by specific persona…
