New Preprint: osf.io/eq2ra Reading feels effortless, but it's actually quite complex under the hood. Most words are easy to process, but some words make us reread or linger. It turns out that LLMs can tell us about why, but only in certain cases... (1/n)

Summary: Prediction and structural processing have dissociable influences on reading behavior. LLMs are a good model of when our eyes move forward, but can’t explain when, where, or why humans reread. To model rereading, we need models that go beyond next-word prediction. (12/n)

If this happened to an American student who wrote an op-ed while on Fulbright in Turkey, it would be an international incident. Congresspeople would demand the student be returned w/in the hour. Their intellectual, professional, political, & personal integrity would be defended

I am at #ACL2024 and will be presenting joint work with @forrestdavis at the TeachingNLP workshop. The talk is on Aug 15 11:45 am in Lotus Suite 11. I would also love to grab coffee or meals with folks to chat about computational psycholing, SLACs, or life generally.

New preprint! How can we test hypotheses about learning that rely on exposure to large amounts of data? No babies no problem: Use language models as models of learning + 🎯targeted modifications 🎯 of language models’ training corpora!

I’m presenting today at #NAACL24 on our @GoogleAI / @GoogleDeepMind paper “The Impact of Depth in Compositional Generalization in Transformer Language Models” If you can’t make it, here’s a thread on what we found! paper, poster, slides, & video at jpetty.org/depth

Are you coming to #NAACL24? 🇲🇽 DM if you wanna meet up, grab coffee, and/or talk about - predicting model generalization behavior - state tracking - using pure math to reason about language models - formal languages and LLMs
