Working with Alex and Prof. Morency in CMU's Language Technologies Institute, I was able to develop a simple prompting strategy that massively improves the theory-of-mind capabilities of large language models — a challenge that has long eluded these systems.
SimToM is a novel LLM prompting strategy that significantly enhances the theory-of-mind capabilities in LLMs. The approach is not only simple and effective, but also universally applicable across various models without the need for extra training. Remarkably, it achieves an improvement of up to +29.5% absolute accuracy over the current state-of-the-art in several theory-of-mind benchmarks.
The paper was accepted as a main conference paper at ACL 2024.
