@CSL_Lab alumn @pcontrerask talks about how feedback is crucial for getting large language models to produce more human-like language output, such as making similar agreement errors and being sensitive to subtle semantic distinctions

Big congrats 🥳 to @CSL_Lab's Calen MacDonald @calencain who gave a splendid 2nd-year talk last week on his work on the role of feedback in iterated learning. 👉Check out his poster about this at @EvolangConf 2024 next month: "A feedback-facilitated iterated learning experiment"

But good to excellent reliability can be found using individual sentence types. E.g., instead of contrasting subject and object relative clauses (= difference score), focus on the hard-to-process region(s) of the ORC sentence. The same likely works for other sentence types 2/2

New paper by @CSL_Lab's @FFrinsel and @MH_Christiansen showing that the use of difference scores in self-paced reading has poor internal consistency and test-retest reliability when used to measure individual differences in language processing rdcu.be/dzbwE 1/2

Some more exciting results from the @PuzzleOfDanish project

Riccardo Fusaroli@fusaroli

Conversations are fine-tuned to the specific challenges of context & language used. Interlocutors re-use each other’s words more during affiliative chats vs joint decisions. Challenging sound structures show different trade-offs for these adjustments. doi.org/10.1111/cogs.1… 1/
