SoMi-ToM: Evaluating Multi-Perspective Theory of Mind in Embodied Social Interactions

NeurIPS 2025poster

Humans continuously infer the states, goals, and behaviors of others by perceiving their surroundings in dynamic, real-world social interactions. However, most Theory of Mind (ToM) benchmarks only evaluate static, text-based scenarios, which have a significant gap compared to real interactions. We p…

Selective Perception: Learning Concise State Descriptions for Language Model Actors

NAACL 2024short

The latest large language models (LMs) support increasingly longer contexts. While this trend permits using substantial amounts of text with SOTA LMs, requiring these large LMs to process potentially redundant or irrelevant data needlessly increases inference time and cost. To remedy this problem, w…

Skill Set Optimization: Reinforcing Language Model Behavior via Transferable Skills

ICML 2024poster

Large language models (LLMs) have recently been used for sequential decision making in interactive environments. However, leveraging environment reward signals for continual LLM actor improvement is not straightforward. We propose Skill Set Optimization (SSO) for improving LLM actor performance thro…

Do Embodied Agents Dream of Pixelated Sheep: Embodied Decision Making using Language Guided World Modelling

ICML 2023poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) agents typically learn tabula rasa, without prior knowledge of the world. However, if initialized with knowledge of high-level subgoals and transitions between subgoals, RL agents could utilize this Abstract World Model (AWM) for planning and exploration. We propose using…
