New research defines and measures "model curiosity" in LLM interactions

Researchers have introduced a new framework to measure "model curiosity" in human-LLM interactions, defining it as the ability of an LLM to ask epistemic questions that reveal knowledge gaps or assumptions. Across four datasets, these curiosity-oriented questions were found to be relatively rare, comprising 17-28% of all questions asked by models. A human study indicated that such curiosity can foster deeper exploration, particularly in creative, research, and advice-seeking scenarios, suggesting implications for developing more collaborative AI systems.

    What Makes a Question Curious? Measuring Model Curiosity in Human-LLM Interactions

    arXiv:2610.33950v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly act as partners in everyday communication. In these interactions, useful assistance may require not only answering, but also asking the right questions that surface knowledge gaps, assumptions, a…
