Comparing Exploration-Exploitation Strategies of LLMs and Humans: Insights from Standard Multi-armed Bandit Experiments

Researchers compared how large language models, humans, and algorithms approach the exploration-exploitation tradeoff in multi-armed bandit decision-making tasks. The study finds that enabling thinking processes in LLMs makes them behave more like humans in simple environments, but LLMs fail to match human adaptability in complex, non-stationary settings despite similar regret outcomes.

In-Context Learning for Pure Exploration

Researchers introduce In-Context Pure Explorer (ICPE), a Transformer-based model that learns to actively collect data and identify correct hypotheses in sequential testing problems without parameter updates. The model demonstrates competitive performance across various benchmarks including multi-armed bandit problems and generalized search tasks.
