New CToM framework trains LLMs to anticipate user responses for better collaboration

Researchers have developed a new framework called Collaborative Theory of Mind (CToM) designed to improve how large language models (LLMs) collaborate with users. CToM trains LLMs to anticipate user responses and use these predictions to refine their own behavior, leading to better task performance and efficiency. Experiments across mathematical reasoning, coding, and writing tasks showed CToM outperforming baseline models, notably increasing accuracy in collaborative mathematical reasoning and reducing the number of user interactions required for coding and writing tasks. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM collaboration by enabling models to predict and adapt to user input, potentially improving user experience and task completion rates.

    Collaborative Theory of Mind: Learning to Self-Revise by Anticipating User Responses

    arXiv:2610.12872v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong individual task performance, yet still struggle to collaborate with users over extended, multi-turn interactions, for example by attempting solutions before understanding the user's ne…
