On the Diversity of Analogy Making in Large Language Models

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable potential for analogy making, a core cognitive capability that drives novelty and creativity. While prior research has extensively investigated the applications and underlying mechanisms of LLM-based analogy making, its output diversity remains largely unexplored, despite being essential for broadening cross-domain connections and fostering scientific innovation.

Large Language Models provide support for the parallelogram theory of analogy

arXiv:2603. 19066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Four-term word analogies (A:B::C:D) are classically modeled geometrically as parallelograms: adding the vector B-A+C produces D.

Are LLMs becoming similarly creative? Evidence from three years of models

arXiv:2608. 19437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many benchmarks track Large Language Model (LLM) performance on tasks with verifiable answers, but less is known about how LLM performance is evolving on open-ended tasks, where creativity, originality and diversity may matter as much as quality.

CreativeInstruct: Scalably Teaching LLMs to Balance Quality, Creativity, and Diversity

arXiv:2608. 07460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While post-training improves the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), it generally lowers their output diversity and creativity, negatively impacting tasks that explicitly require creativity (e.

Metaphors are a Source of Cross-Domain Misalignment of Large Reasoning Models

arXiv:2601. 03388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Earlier research has shown that metaphors influence human decision-making, raising the question of whether metaphors also influence large language models (LLMs)' reasoning pathways, given that their training data contain a large number of metaphors.
