Updated the preprint below! We have included the THINGS data (similarity of 1854 natural objects) and successfully aligned the mental representations of 1854 objects across individuals in an unsupervised manner using Gromov-Wasserstein optimal transport. psyarxiv.com/h3pqm/

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

Check out our new work “What language reveals about perception: distilling psychophysical knowledge from large language models”! Raja Marjieh, Ilia Sucholutsky, Pol van Rijn, Nori Jacoby, Computational Auditory Perception Group, Griffiths Computational Cognitive Science Lab. arxiv.org/pdf/2302.01308… 1/n

Constellations of chemicals interact to form the fragrances familiar to us. To truly understand smell, scientists need to map the relationships among these molecules. Machine learning can help. quantamagazine.org/ai-model-links…

Major physical advances from the last century — general relativity, the Standard Model and the hunt for the Higgs boson — all have symmetry to thank. New symmetries promise new breakthroughs. quantamagazine.org/a-new-kind-of-…

It was amazing to see the massive support this week for this big change - thank you. And huge thank you to the 870 people who already signed up to review for Imaging Neuroscience! Can we make it a thousand? :-)

Are Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models a Mirage? Presents an alternative explanation for emergent abilities: one can choose a metric which leads to the inference of an emergent ability or another metric which does not. arxiv.org/abs/2304.15004

In the latest paper from my lab, Jerry Tang showed that we can decode language that a person is hearing (or even just thinking) from fMRI responses. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Bispectral Neural Networks go to #ICLR2023! In this work, we present a new neural network architecture capable of learning unknown groups purely from the symmetries implicit in data —with Christian Shewmake, Bruno Olshausen, and Christopher Hillar 1/17

I am not sure of the official DAY OF PUBLICATION but my taste ensembles are in JEP:G! psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-09… please read if you have ever found yourself wondering "on average, how sweet are these briefly presented food pictures?" w/ jon cant and Keisuke Fukuda

I am beyond excited to share a new preprint from my lab ‘The Conceptual Structure of Human Relationships across Modern and Historical Cultures’. We discovered a universal representational space of social relationship concepts. doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…
