Super excited about Cory's Cory Shain work showing that you can recover the language network via func connectivity methods from ~any fMRI data. A massive effort using all the data ever collected in my lab from neurotypical participants! Go, Cory!

🚨 I’m hosting a Student Researcher Google DeepMind! Join us on the Autonomous Assistants team (led by Edward Grefenstette ) to explore multi-agent communication—how agents learn to interact, coordinate, and solve tasks together. DM me for details!

As a child growing up in the former Soviet Union, Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 studied English, French, German, Polish, and Spanish. Today she is is working to decipher the internal structure and functions of the brain’s language-processing machinery. news.mit.edu/2025/evelina-f…

Excited to share new work on the language system! Using a large fMRI dataset (n=772) we comprehensively search for language-selective regions across the brain. w/Aaron Wright, Ben Lipkin, and Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below!👇🧵

Excited to announce I'll be starting as an assistant professor at TTIC for fall 2026! In the meantime, I'll be graduating and hanging around Ai2 in Seattle🏔️

Want to apply computational tools to the science of human language? But not ready to go into a PhD program? UC Irvine's post-bacc in computational language science bridges the gap. Fall 2025 applications are open!

I’ve been fascinated lately by the question: what kinds of capabilities might base LLMs lose when they are aligned? i.e. where can alignment make models WORSE? I’ve been looking into this with Christopher Potts and here's one piece of the answer: randomness and creativity

What are the organizing dimensions of language processing? We show that voxel responses are organized along 2 main axes: processing difficulty & meaning abstractness—revealing an interpretable, topographic representational basis for language processing shared across individuals.

These days I think a lot about "Henry's Awful Mistake", a book from my childhood in which the main character keeps trying to kill an ant with a hammer until his whole house is a waterlogged pile of rubble.
