I've been having a nice time talking to @denizcemonduygu about maps and graphs of philosophical discourse, and thought I'd repost my bibliometric map of the phenomenology literature. Dots are authors, links are citations, and colors are clusters.
@CSL_Lab alumn @pcontrerask talks about how feedback is crucial for getting large language models to produce more human-like language output, such as making similar agreement errors and being sensitive to subtle semantic distinctions
Information density as a predictor of communication dynamics Spotlight by Gary Lupyan (@glupyan), Pablo Contreras Kallens (@pcontrerask), & Rick Dale on recent @NatureHumanBehav work by Pete Aceves (@peteaceves) & James Evans (@profjamesevans) authors.elsevier.com/a/1ixK34sIRvTA…
How do infants learn to produce the consonant sounds of their ambient language? To find out, check out our CogSci proceedings paper “Statistical learning or phonological universals? Ambient language statistics guide consonant acquisition in four languages” A 🧵: /1
it's me!
I'm delighted to announce the publication of our free, open access book, "Horizons of Phenomenology", a collection of essays on the state of the field. A brief thread about the book, and the long and ultimately victorious struggle to publish it open access. 1/

In sum, the ideas that children (a) have innate syntactic categories and (b) NEED them because they can't construct them via distributional analyses alone are NOT straw-men but real and influential proposals in the child language literature 7/n
I've seen lots of threads about large language models (LLMs) and their implications for language acquisition BUT not many threads by language-acquisition specialists. So here's my two cents on how LLMs undermine SOME SPECIFIC PROPOSALS for acquisition of syntactic categories 1/n
For the Friday evening crowd still mulling over Chomsky’s op-ed, here’s a key passage from our recent letter in @cogsci_soc. There are absolutely some things LLMs cannot do. But what they can do, they do very well - and that demands attention. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/6REPM3XF…

@pcontrerask @ross_dkm And for those who’d like a less academic take on the issues in this article, take a look at our short piece in the @ConversationUS: theconversation.com/ai-is-changing…
Another day, another opinion essay about ChatGPT in the @nytimes. This time, Noam Chomsky and colleagues weigh in on the shortcomings of language models. Unfortunately, this is not the nuanced discussion one could have hoped for. 🧵 1/ nytimes.com/2023/03/08/opi…
