  1. "I didn't Make the Micro Decisions": Measuring, Inducing, and Exposing Goal-Level AI Contributions in Collaboration

    A new framework called CoTrace has been developed to analyze how large language models influence goal formation in human-AI collaborations. Research using this framework on over 600 collaboration logs indicates that while AI models contribute directly to goal shaping only 11-26% of the time, they are significant in introducing specific requirements and making indirect contributions. Furthermore, the study found that interaction design choices impact AI goal-shaping behavior, and exposing users to goal-level analyses helps correct miscalibrations in their perception of AI-assisted work.

    IMPACT This research offers a new lens for understanding and quantifying AI's indirect influence in collaborative tasks, potentially leading to better AI design and user calibration.

  2. DGPO: Distribution Guided Policy Optimization for Fine Grained Credit Assignment

    Researchers have developed CoTrace, a framework to measure and expose goal-level contributions in human-AI collaboration, revealing that while AI accounts for a smaller percentage of overall goal-shaping, it significantly contributes to concrete requirements and indirect influences. Separately, a new method called DGPO aims to improve reinforcement learning for LLMs by addressing coarse-grained credit assignment issues in complex reasoning tasks. Additionally, a study on the entropy of the Ukrainian language provides an upper bound and compares it to LLM performance, while another paper explores using Sparse Autoencoders for out-of-distribution detection in vision transformers.
