SportD: Can VLMs Physically Strategize?

arXiv cs.AI 6 hours ago

Researchers introduced SportD, a benchmark of 478 soccer decisions from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, to evaluate whether vision-language models can make strategically sound decisions by choosing between shooting or passing. The best-performing VLM selected the highest-valued action 31.4% of the time compared to 38.9% for professional players, with models systematically preferring lower-risk passes and shooting less frequently than optimal. The models appear to partially imitate familiar play patterns rather than consistently evaluate different strategic options, suggesting current VLMs struggle with physical strategic reasoning.

Human AI Construction of Bayesian Networks for Operational Decision Support -- A Virtual Survey Approach

arXiv cs.AI 6 hours ago

Researchers proposed a methodology using large language models to construct Bayesian Belief Networks by having AI agents estimate probabilities across different personas, then applied trimmed-mean aggregation to reduce noise. The framework was tested on a model of customer intention to consult doctors in alternative healthcare, with 6 steps including parameter estimation and causal analysis. The approach bridges expert judgment and data-driven learning, revealing that subjective norms have stronger causal impact than self-efficacy on healthcare consultation decisions.
