#CitSciMonth

I am hiring a research assistant with a computational (or mathematical) background to work with me at the University of Southern Denmark on a part-time and remote basis on projects on cumulative advantage, recommender networks and dynamic risky choice.

🚨UPDATED PAPER🚨

First announced in twitter.com/dirkuwulff/sta…, we analyze people's information search using over 1M observations.

Now it is bigger & better, with formal modeling using a Bayesian observer framework.

Check it out here:

How does GPT-4 think about intelligence?

In a new preprint, Samuel Aeschbach, Rui Mata, and I share tools for leveraging free associations to map semantic representations of human and artificial minds.

I am happy to share a preprint of a tutorial with Rui Mata and Dirk Wulff @dirkwulff.bsky.social on analyzing free associations using our new R package associatoR!

Announcement: we have PhD positions available in the BraveNewWord project - the official call is opening soon!

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: If you use process-tracing methods (like eye-tracking 👀, neuroimaging 🧠, verbal protocols 🗣️, process models 🤖...) to study human behavior and cognition, join us for EGPROC in Berlin and submit your abstract by April 28! mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research/resea…

⚡Thrilled to announce the talk by Prof. Melanie Mitchell Melanie Mitchell on 'The Debate over Understanding in AI’s Large Language Models'! Discuss AI complexities with the author of 'Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans' at our #EADMSummerSchool2024

Fun story from our internal testing on Claude 3 Opus. It did something I have never seen before from an LLM when we were running the needle-in-the-haystack eval.

For background, this tests a model’s recall ability by inserting a target sentence (the 'needle') into a corpus of

🌟Exciting News! Prof. Gaël Le Mens Gael Le Mens will give a keynote on 'Using LLMs for Similarity Measurement' at #EADMSummerSchool24 , highlighting the potential of leveraging LLMs to quantify how typical a text is for a target concept (e.g., a specific political orientation).

🤝🏻Delighted to announce EADM as the sponsor for our Summer School!
As an interdisciplinary organization dedicated to all facets of decision-making, EADM supports our mission to explore Large Language Models in Behavioral Science. #EADMSummerSchool24

🤖 hands-on workshops to help you leveraging LLMs openly & responsibly for behavioural science (w Zak Hussain & Dirk Wulff @dirkwulff.bsky.social) and to provide an immersive dive into LLMs’ transformative influence on culture (w Anne-Marie Nussberger)

Excited about our #EADMSummerSchool24 on Large Language Models (LLMs) in Behavioural Science!

⏰ Application deadline is less than a month away (March 17th)

Besides the magic of Berlin in late summer, you’d get:
