Talk to @allielahnala at #LREC2024 !

There are a *lot* of researchers out there asking "How similar is ChatGPT to humans on X psychological test?" Dave Markowitz, Kate Blackburn, and I suggest that we can be thinking much, much more broadly about the future potential of generative AI: doi.org/10.3389/frsps.…

For decades, social scientists have studied verbal behavior from a words-as-attention perspective. In American Psychologist, Ryan Boyd and I chart a path forward for studying NLP in a more thoughtful and accurate manner to match behavioral theories. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2024-…

Very timely work in the age of LLMs! Enjoyed reading it.

Are you a prospective PhD student interested in the psychology of language, NLP, deception, or CMC? Let's meet at #ica24 to chat about grad school! The MSU Department of Communication is a wonderful community of scholars and humans. Ping me (here, via email, etc) if interested!

For those who haven't heard already, I am delighted to announce that I will be joining the Department of Psychology at UT Dallas this Fall! I look forward to contributing to, collaborating with, and being a part of the outstanding School of BBS at UTD community.

Our lab is looking to hire an hourly data scientist and an hourly research coordinator! have a look if interested.

Why do we think? Judith Mildner and I answer this question by analyzing the dynamics of thousands of spontaneous thought streams. We test two functions of spontaneous thought: optimizing memory and keeping the mind focused on ongoing goal pursuits. (1/5) psnlab.princeton.edu/sites/g/files/…

Today is the first day of fall term and therefore... 📢 Calling prospective PhD students 📢 Come join the wonderful academic community at MSU Department of Communication! I'm specifically recruiting students interested in deception, NLP, or AIMC. Please reach out with questions!🎓 MSU

New research in PNAS Nexus reveals that AI like GPT4 can simplify scientific writing, improving public understanding of science and perceptions of scientists. When AI crafts lay summaries, readers grasp content better and view scientists as more credible. doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…
