Are Large Language Models Aligned with People’s Social Intuitions for Human–Robot Interactions?

IROS 2024poster

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in robotics, especially for high-level action planning. Meanwhile, many robotics applications involve human supervisors or collaborators. Hence, it is crucial for LLMs to generate socially acceptable actions that align with people’s preferences and…

Exploring Spatial Schema Intuitions in Large Language and Vision Models

ACL 2024findings

Despite the ubiquity of large language models (LLMs) in AI research, the question of embodiment in LLMs remains underexplored, distinguishing them from embodied systems in robotics where sensory perception directly informs physical action.Our investigation navigates the intriguing terrain of whether…

Does GPT-3 Grasp Metaphors? Identifying Metaphor Mappings with Generative Language Models

ACL 2023long

Conceptual metaphors present a powerful cognitive vehicle to transfer knowledge structures from a source to a target domain. Prior neural approaches focus on detecting whether natural language sequences are metaphoric or literal. We believe that to truly probe metaphoric knowledge in pre-trained lan…

Systematic Analysis of Image Schemas in Natural Language through Explainable Multilingual Neural Language Processing

COLING 2022main

In embodied cognition, physical experiences are believed to shape abstract cognition, such as natural language and reasoning. Image schemas were introduced as spatio-temporal cognitive building blocks that capture these recurring sensorimotor experiences. The few existing approaches for automatic de…
