🚨 New Preprint! 🚨 “Detecting Synthetic, Doubting Authentic: AI Attribution Bias for Political Imagery” 📍 Link: osf.io/preprints/osf/… 🧵 During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, many #GenAI political images appeared. But did voters mistake them for authentic? (1/)

🎉 Huge news! Our paper 'A semantic embedding space based on large language models for modelling human beliefs' is finally out in Nature Human Behaviour! This research uses LLMs to build a 'map' of human beliefs and reveals why people adopt certain beliefs through relative dissonance.

2 years & 3 months of hard work of Byunghwee Lee from project start to publication – so incredibly proud! with Haewoon Kwak Rachith Aiyappa and YY!! Read the paper: nature.com/articles/s4156… (Free-to-read link): rdcu.be/epoQJ

In this Article, Lee et al. fine tune large language models on debate data to create belief embeddings that capture the nuanced relationship between a wide range of topics and reveal how people form new opinions. nature.com/articles/s4156…

📢 Exciting news! Our two-year project at Indiana University has just been published in Nature Human Behaviour! 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41562… In this study, we used large language models and a massive online debate dataset to map over 100,000 human beliefs into a "belief space."

🎨 Happy to share that our new paper on visual art co-authored with Dr. Seunghwan Kim and Prof. Wonjae Lee has just been published in Scientific Reports! nature.com/articles/s4159…
