Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results

…, A Behler, CM Hall, J Dafflon, SD Bao… - Nature human …, 2024 - nature.com
Scientific discoveries often hinge on synthesizing decades of research, a task that potentially
outstrips human information processing capacities. Large language models (LLMs) offer a …

Sensory perception relies on fitness-maximizing codes

J Schaffner, SD Bao, PN Tobler, TA Hare… - Nature Human …, 2023 - nature.com
Sensory information encoded by humans and other organisms is generally presumed to be
as accurate as their biological limitations allow. However, perhaps counterintuitively, …

[PDF][PDF] Deciding for others alters metacognition, leading to responsibility aversion

SD Bao, T Hare, M Edelson - files.osf.io
People often need to take responsibility for others, with widespread and lasting impacts on
both themselves and those affected by the choice outcomes. Responsibility for others has …

Undoing in human planning

D Kim, SD Bao, Q Fu, WJ Ma - … of the Annual Meeting of the …, 2022 - escholarship.org
From writing to hiking, people’s real-world sequential decision-making often benefits from “undoing”
(eg deleting sentences or backtracking). Surprisingly, undoing has not been studied …

Active inference, selective attention, and the cocktail party problem

E Holmes, T Parr, TD Griffiths, KJ Friston - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2021 - Elsevier
… The authors would like to thank Sherry Dongqi Bao for conducting some preliminary
modelling work on this paradigm as part of a research visit to UCL. …

Confidence-weighted integration of human and machine judgments for superior decision-making

F Yáñez, X Luo, OV Minero, BC Love - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.08083, 2024 - arxiv.org
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools in various domains. Recent
studies have shown that LLMs can surpass humans in certain tasks, such as predicting the …

A comparative study of sensory encoding models for human navigation in virtual reality

T Li, Q Zhan, Y Zhu, B Hou, Y Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2501.06698, 2025 - arxiv.org
In virtual reality applications, users often navigate through virtual environments, but the issue
of physiological responses, such as cybersickness, fatigue, and cognitive workload, can …

Llms are biased towards output formats! systematically evaluating and mitigating output format bias of llms

DX Long, HN Ngoc, T Sim, H Dao, S Joty… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present the first systematic evaluation examining format bias in performance of large
language models (LLMs). Our approach distinguishes between two categories of an evaluation …

Why does in-context learning fail sometimes? Evaluating in-context learning on open and closed questions

X Li, H Tang, S Chen, Z Wang, R Chen… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We measure the performance of in-context learning as a function of task novelty and difficulty
for open and closed questions. For that purpose, we created a novel benchmark consisting …
