1/ 🚨 Updated preprint: “Generating Computational Cognitive Models using Large Language Models” 👥 Co-led by @milenamr7 with Marvin Mathony, Tobias Ludwig & @cpilab 📄 Check full paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2502.00879

Great to see that our work was covered by @nytimes! I still cannot believe it 😱

I recently defended my PhD thesis studying chunking in cognition and machine learning, working with Eric Schulz and Peter Dayan. @cpilab Here is a summary of my studies during the years in Tuebingen.

Excited to see our Centaur project out in @Nature. TL;DR: Centaur is a computational model that predicts and simulates human behavior for any experiment described in natural language.

How do task dynamics impact learning in networks with internal dynamics? Excited to share our ICML Oral paper on learning dynamics in linear RNNs! with @ClementineDomi6 @mpshanahan @PedroMediano openreview.net/forum?id=KGOcr…

New short-form preprint in which we use Centaur to identify gaps in interpretable cognitive models and revise them accordingly using Qwen3 -- fully automated and without a human-in-the-loop. arxiv.org/abs/2505.17661

Please apply to join us! It’s a great lab to do science 🤗

We are looking for two PhD students at our institute in Munich. Both postions are open-topic, so anything between cognitive science and machine learning is possible. More information: hcai-munich.com/PhDHCAI.pdf Feel free to share broadly!

Our study on AI chatbots mimicking human anxiety was featured on @Marketplace Tech, one of the most-listened-to shows in public radio! 🤖💥📻 Super excited to share our findings with such a wide audience 🙏🤩💪 🎧 Tune in here: marketplace.org/shows/marketpl…
