Evaluating Model Alignment with Human Perception: A Study on Shitsukan in LLMs and LVLMs

COLING 2025main

We evaluate the alignment of large language models (LLMs) and large vision-language models (LVLMs) with human perception, focusing on the Japanese concept of *shitsukan*, which reflects the sensory experience of perceiving objects. We created a dataset of *shitsukan* terms elicited from individuals…

Quantifying the Influence of Evaluation Aspects on Long-Form Response Assessment

COLING 2025main

Evaluating the outputs of large language models (LLMs) on long-form generative tasks remains challenging. While fine-grained, aspect-wise evaluations provide valuable diagnostic information, they are difficult to design exhaustively, and each aspect’s contribution to the overall acceptability of an…

Context Limitations Make Neural Language Models More Human-Like

EMNLP 2022main

Language models (LMs) have been used in cognitive modeling as well as engineering studies—they compute information-theoretic complexity metrics that simulate humans’ cognitive load during reading.This study highlights a limitation of modern neural LMs as the model of choice for this purpose: there i…

Learning to Learn to be Right for the Right Reasons

NAACL 2021long

Improving model generalization on held-out data is one of the core objectives in common- sense reasoning. Recent work has shown that models trained on the dataset with superficial cues tend to perform well on the easy test set with superficial cues but perform poorly on the hard test set without sup…
