Jev-ToM: Evaluating Theory of Mind in Typed Decision Models

We present Jev-ToM, comparing five typed decision models and seven generative baselines on 11,117 English text questions from nine ToM benchmarks across six capability groups.

Key points

  • Dialogue and collaborative assistants repeatedly judge what a partner knows, believes, or intends.
  • Typed decision models offer a potential alternative to generative large language models for bounded Theory of Mind (ToM) selection.
  • Other typed models show distinct strengths across tasks.
  • The findings motivate testing Jev as a ToM selection component in assistants, with task-specific confidence calibration, candidate design, and output validation as integration priorities.
