"HERINNERING voor iedereen die nog niet de raadpleging voor het nationaal #burgerberaad #klimaat heeft ingevuld. Dit kan nog t/m vandaag 7 mei via onderstaande link. Meedoen is belangrijk! Er zijn signalen dat de #raadpleging veel wordt ingevuld door mensen uit de CLINTEL/industrie-hoek en dat mensen die zich daadwerkelijk zorgen maken over #klimaatverandering de raadpleging minder goed weten te vinden. 🙏"

🌟 Welcome to MultiplEYE on Mastodon🌟

MultiplEYE is an interdisciplinary network of research groups working on collecting #eyetracking data from reading in many languages. Visit our website to learn more: www.multipleye.eu.

Stay tuned for exciting developments and be part of our vibrant community!

After learning that the publisher sold access to its data for LLM training (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/research/2024/07/29/taylor-francis-ai-deal-sets-worrying-precedent) I resigned as action editor of Language, Cognition and Neuroscience (I will continue handling the manuscripts already assigned to me). If any not-for-profit journal is looking for an editor who knows a bit about psycholinguistics, please get in touch!
Taylor & Francis AI deal sets "worrying precedent"

The publisher didn’t give authors any notice before selling access to its data to Microsoft for $10 million. The agreement could improve academic research, but it further entrenches the predatory nature of academic publishing, experts say.

A computational psycholinguistics workshop is in planning (organized by @bruno_nicenboim, Jakub Dotlacil (Utrecht), and Lena JĂ€ger (Zurich). If you are interested in participating, please fill out this very short questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oyxfK4I1i4fG2PeyhOOPKQ8t2lfWrsvfykxc4fZQayg/viewform?ts=66fbdfaa&edit_requested=true
Questionnaire about a computational psycholinguistic workshop

Hi! In recent years, computational psycholinguistics has become more and more popular and more mature as a field, due to the impact of large language models (LLMs) on cognitive science and, at the same time, advances in the development of symbolic processing models that aim to capture different aspects of human behavior during reading and other language-related tasks. Given the advances in the field, it would make sense to have a workshop that is recurring and that is purely devoted to computational psycholinguistics. Currently, there is no such workshop, but we would like to start one. To make this a bit more concrete, you could imagine that the workshop would address topics such as (non-exhaustively) (i) how we can explain and predict human behavior in psycholinguistic experiments with LLM-based measures, connectionist models and/or symbolic models, (ii) informative failures of either type of model, (iii) what linguistic information should be integrated across different levels of representation (words, sentences), (iv) what is the potential of hybrid neuro-symbolic models. An example of what that workshop might look like is the workshop on computational psycholinguistics that took place at Mathpsych/ICCM last summer. See more details here: https://mathpsych.org/session/371 Before we start organising the workshop, we would like to collect feedback from you as a potential participant of such a workshop. Could you respond to the questions below? Any extra comments are also much appreciated. Thanks! Jakub Dotlacil Bruno Nicenboim Lena JĂ€ger

‘Méér data werkt niet altijd beter’

Anderhalf jaar geleden waren taalmodellen nog iets voor een niche, inmiddels kan iedereen erover meepraten. Marianne de Heer Kloots onderzoekt of deze modellen taal anders verwerken dan ons brein.
