Presented our new **reading time benchmark for Human Sentence Processing modeling** at the Computational Psycholinguistics Meeting in Utrecht 🧠

Expected to be released in open-source in the upcoming months. Keep an eye out! 👀

To model human linguistic prediction, make LLMs less superhuman When people listen to or read a sentence, they actively make predictions about upcoming words: words that are less predictable are generally read more slowly than predictable ones. The success of larg...

Another banger from @tallinzen.bsky.social .

Also fits with some of the criticisms of Centaur and my faculty-based approach generally; if you want LLMs to model human cognition, give them more architecture akin to human faculty psychology like long and short-term memory.

First paper is out! Had so much fun presenting it in Marseille last July 🇨🇵

We explore how transformers handle compositionality by exploring the representations of the idiomatic and literal meaning of the same noun phrase (e.g. "silver spoon").
