New tool measures if language models truly organize beliefs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed the Schema Coherence Inventory (SCI), a new tool to measure whether a language model's assigned beliefs genuinely organize its behavior, rather than just adopting a mood. The SCI consists of 96 forced-choice items designed to assess belief organization based on Beck's cognitive model. Validation studies across multiple language models and parameter sizes show that the SCI can accurately identify a model's core beliefs, with human raters achieving a 79.5% accuracy rate. AI

IMPACT Provides a method to evaluate the depth of belief organization in LLMs, crucial for their use in sensitive applications like simulated patients.

    The Schema Coherence Inventory: Measuring Whether an Assigned Belief Organizes a Language Model's Cognition

    arXiv:2610.31683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persona-conditioned language models are used as simulated patients and affective agents, but there is no validated way to ask whether a belief assigned to such a model organizes its behaviour or whether the model has merely adopted …
