What if AI agents aren't here to replace us, but to facilitate our decisions? In a study with 1600 participants, we show that a human with action choices narrowed by an AI makes better sequential decisions than an AI or a human alone. 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2510.16097

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting a 2.5-hour tutorial on "Counterfactuals in Minds and Machines" at UAI 2025 in Rio 🇧🇷, prepared together with @autreche.bsky.social and @tobigerstenberg.bsky.social. We've made all materials and references available here: learning.mpi-sws.org/counterfactu...

The LLM API you use returns (and charges you for) 5 tokens. Did the LLM actually generate 5 tokens? Or is the provider overcharging you? 🤔 In arxiv.org/abs/2505.21627, led by Ander Artola Velasco, we argue (game-theoretically) for a change from pay-per-token to pay-per-character.

In Singapore for #ICLR2025! I'll be presenting our work on a causal methodology for evaluating LLMs (arxiv.org/abs/2502.01754) at the "Building Trust in LLMs" workshop on Monday. If you are working on causality, game theory and/or LLMs, let's grab a ☕️ during the conference!

LLMs rely on randomization to respond to a prompt: they may respond differently to the same prompt if asked multiple times. In “Evaluation of LLMs via Coupled Token Generation” (arxiv.org/abs/2502.01754), we argue that the eval of LLMs should control for this randomization 1/

What would an LLM have said, counterfactually? Here is a short video illustrating our method for counterfactual token generation. We will present this work at the CaLM workshop at #neurips2024. See you in Vancouver! 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2409.17027 💻 made with manim in python
