Introduces trajectory extrapolation error, a measure derived from transformer LM hidden states that predicts human reading times independently of and orthogonally to surprisal, revealing a dissociable component of incremental processing cost.
This paper investigates how LLMs produce different outcomes based on conversational context, finding that topic, rather than explicit user demographics, is the primary driver of disparities in high-stakes scenarios like salary advice.
A new study reveals that Italian and Dutch adults instinctively adapt their hand gestures in similar ways when teaching children, suggesting a shared communicative strategy across cultures.
This paper tests the Parse Multiplicity Mismatch Hypothesis, proposing that language models underpredict human processing difficulty in garden path sentences because they can consider more simultaneous parses. Using RNNGs with beam search, they find reducing the number of active parses increases predicted garden path effects, but not enough to fully capture human data.
This paper investigates how humans communicate under strict vocabulary limitations, comparing their incremental production strategies to greedy and globally optimal sampling algorithms using Sequential Monte Carlo inference with large language models.
