XLNet: a new pretraining method for NLP that significantly improves upon BERT on 20 tasks (e.g., SQuAD, GLUE, RACE) arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/1906.08237 github (code + pretrained models): github.com/zihangdai/xlnet with Zhilin Yang, Zihang Dai, Yiming Yang, Jaime Carbonell, Russ Salakhutdinov

Cool study showing how humans are able to identify objects from nearly any angle. disq.us/t/3g1vbz1

One of my favorite ideas from #cog2019 #cogsci2019 so far . You can build human heuristics into machine learning models using something as simple as regularization. From Özgür Şimşek

This is an outstanding paper (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) with results that are highly compatible with the language-specific predictive processes instantiated in transformer networks like BERT and XLNet.

"The model uses 8.3 billion parameters and is 24 times larger than BERT and 5 times larger than OpenAI’s GPT-2" Why am I not surprised? For such a computational effort, I hope the weights will be released publicly... venturebeat.com/2019/08/13/nvi…

Emory Psyc Department is conducting searches for positions in Human Cognition (apply.interfolio.com/65505) and Developmental Science (apply.interfolio.com/64756). Those using AI, Machine Learning and/or NLP methods to study cognition are especially encouraged to apply.

A terrific article identifying the strengths and limitations of the language model BERT.

.Surya Ganguli & I are co-organizing the next Stanford HAI Conference Apr 1, 2020—no joke!—on the topic Triangulating Intelligence: Melding Neuroscience, Psychology, and AI. Botvinick—Yejin Choi—Chelsea Finn—Aude Oliva—Tenenbaum—Daniel Yamins—save the date! hai.stanford.edu/events/triangu…

When conservatives attack their enemies, they do so from a position of social inferiority, so their attacks are resentful. When left attacks, it does so from a position of perceived moral superiority, so its attacks are filled with ridicule and scorn. nytimes.com/2019/12/12/opi…

What a fantastic position! You never stop impressing me!

Welcome back America! Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their election! While we are about to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this victory symbolizes our need to act together more than ever, in view of climate emergency. 🇺🇸 #Election2020

Alright, this work is out! doi.org/10.1192/bjp.20…

Just published in Brain! We used LLMs to classify (primary progressive aphasia) PPA in a data-driven way. We found verb frequency is a critical variable in PPA classification. Saying "negotiate" versus "talk" makes a difference! academic.oup.com/brain/advance-… DickersonLabMGH Phillip Wolff
