What Do You Mean? Exploring the Alleged Theory of Mind Abilities of Large Language Models

The results reveal that, although LLMs occasionally succeed in decoding communicative intentions, their performance is not attributable to human-like ToM reasoning, and offers insight into their interpretive biases, contributing to a deeper understanding of their linguistic capabilities.

Likelihood Ranking doesn't Scale Like Prompting in LLMs

LLM evaluation is commonly performed either by prompting models to produce answers or by scoring candidate outputs with likelihood-based metrics. In multiple-choice QA, however, standard likelihood-based scoring is still conditioned on the question and answer set, and can therefore leverage the same task-conditioned an...

Parts-of-Speech as Emergent Categories in SAE Latent Space

Sparse AutoEncoders (SAEs) offer a promising way to inspect language model representations, but it is still unclear what kind of linguistic structure their latents expose. We use part-of-speech (PoS) categories as a controlled test case to study whether morpho-syntactic information is encoded by individual latents or b...

From Vision to Language: Investigating Causal Information Flow in Multimodal Decision-Making

This work investigates cross-modal information flow in a video-based generative multiple-choice-like setting by applying a layer-wise causal intervention on video-text attention pathways and identifies a distinct pattern in temporal reasoning.

Can a Remedy Find a Researcher? Exploring Sensitivity to Semantic Violations in Italian BabyLMs

This study explores the semantic competence of Italian BabyLMs, focusing on their sensitivity to semantic violations, using a minimal pair benchmark targeting semantic violations to evaluate the semantic abilities of BAMBI, a family of small-scale models trained on progressively larger and more complex datasets.
