🚨Call for help🚨 For our piece 'Are LLMs "just" next-token predictors?" (osf.io/preprints/osf/…), we (Zak Hussain, Rui Mata) are looking for quotes of unsubstantiated deflationary claims about LLM cognition in science or media. See github.com/Zak-Hussain/ag…. 🙏Thank you!!

🚨 New article 🚨 Open LLMs are powerful and reproducible alternatives to closed models like GPT or Gemini. In this tutorial, we (Zak Hussain, Marcel Binz, Rui Mata) explain how LLMs work and show how to apply open LLMs to behavioral science questions using the

I am thrilled to share that the DFG public | @[email protected] is financing my proposal, "Addressing the generalizability crisis with large language models," as part of the Priority Programme "Meta-science & Replicability" priority program. I will soon announce openings for a PhD and a Postdoc position at Max Planck Institute for Human Development (three years,

Preprint: Individual-level semantic networks are a critical ingredient for building realistic cognitive models. In our simulation, Rui Mata, Dirk Wulff, and I show when measurements of individual semantic networks are accurate and when they are not. arxiv.org/abs/2410.18326

Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results Nature Human Behaviour • This study introduces BrainBench, a forward-looking benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on their ability to predict neuroscience research outcomes. Results

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Excited to share this preprint led by Zak Hussain (with Rui Mata and Ben Newell), comparing the semantic contents of embedding models from text, brain, and behavior data. We find that behavior captures key psychological dimensions better than text,
