I wrote an entry on Transformers for the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (‪@oecs-bot.bsky.social‬). I had to work with a tight word limit, but I hope it's useful as a short introduction for students and researchers who don't work on machine learning:

My heart goes out to the folks at NIH and other agencies who are losing their jobs today.

Also, I wanna shout out their Success Through Aging Research program (uwm.edu/our/star/). They bring together a yearly cohort of undergrads from underrepresented backgrounds for mentored research experiences. I got to spend a lot of time with this year’s cohort, and they are just phenomenal people.

The Human and Machine Learning (HaML) Lab is recruiting a PhD student to start in Fall 2024. If you’re interested in human learning, machine learning, and neuroimaging, apply to work with me at UWM! See hamllab.org/positions.html for more details about PhD training and the application process.

I study how the brain organizes knowledge to guide reasoning and decision making. In my new lab at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, I will use fMRI and machine learning to examine how cognitive maps are formed and used to guide behavior in new situations.
