I also want to mention that the lang x computation research community at BU is growing in an exciting direction, especially with new faculty like @amuuueller.bsky.social, @anthonyyacovone.bsky.social, @nsaphra.bsky.social, &
@profsophie.bsky.social! Also, Boston is quite nice :)

My lab at BU is recruiting PhD students and possibly a postdoc this year!
We study humans & machines, centered around topics like meaning, generalization, evaluation methods and design, and the nature of computation and representation that underlie language and cognition.

honored to have given a plenary address at the Society for Language Development annual symposium titled "Whence insights? The value of delineating human and machine CogSci". It's a synthesis of a few years of thoughts, recently concretized with @aditya-yedetore.bsky.social and @kanishka.bsky.social

hello NAACL friends I'm giving a keynote today at RepL4NLP at 1:30PM local time, come say hi! I'll mostly be musing about things with light research discussions

so proud of Hayley Ross for getting a best paper award at GenBench this year!! 🎉🪅🎉 I'm sure Kate would be too :) check out our paper and share if you think homemade cats are cats!

(3) Cat(s)! And also maybe science.
Thanks for reading all the way through if you did!

(2) Potentially working together in my lab (or via other collaborations)! I'm sure lab members (Yukyung Lee, Yulu Qin, Hayley Ross & Aditya Yedetore) will also be around & willing to chat :)

will give a talk at GenBench on "Is artificial intelligence still intelligence? LLMs generalize to novel adjective-noun pairs, but don’t mimic the full human distribution" where we find that LLMs do often generalize compositionally to unseen AN combos!

11/12 Tues 11:00 (Riverfront Hall, Session A): Aditya Yedetore and I will present "Semantic Training Signals Promote Hierarchical Syntactic Generalization in Transformers" where we find that training on mapping from form to meaning leads to improved hierarchical generalization.
