Other Unpublished Projects
-
People and LLMs Learning Each Other's Competencies
Can people accurately calibrate their expectations of LLMs in various domains? Can LLMs identify whether they or the individual prompting them is more competent?
-
LLMs Inferring Individual Preferences From Edits to Their Outputs
Do LLM-generated summaries improve if preferences are inferred from people's revisions of previous summaries?
-
Prompting GPT-4 for Intelligence Analysis Reporting Standards
Can GPT-4 adhere to the intelligence community's best practices for reporting and does that help analysts to assess the reliability of the system?
-
Designing LLM UIs for Appropriate Reliance
What user interface elements (e.g., warnings, confidence bars, cognitive-forcing functions) can assist people in correctly calibrating their reliance on LLMs?
-
AI Images for Cognitive Psychology Research
What computational metrics explain people's internal representations of abstract art? And can we use synthetic AI-generated mixes of original artworks? Check out this interactive visualization .
-
What Factors Influence People's Perceptions of AI Recommendations?
We showed global (linear surrogate) and local (LIME) explanations for an AI system's recommendations. This distinction turned out to not have as large of an effect as the participant's self-perceived expertise.
