Interested in human and machine behavior.
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

AI in Science: Ethical and Practical Challenges 🧠 🎤Interview with Dr. Marcel Binz, Postdoctoral Researcher and Deputy Head of the Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI (HCAI) at #HelmholtzMunich. 👉t1p.de/p82vj The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs)…
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!
The German Cognitive Science Society is organizing a PhD symposium in Tuebingen in April. If you are a PhD student in the vicinity, you should definetely register (by February 28th) -- it will be fun! cogsciprag.github.io/context-in-cog…
Our paper (with @elifakata, @MatthiasBethge, @cpilab) on visual cognition in multimodal large language models is now out in @NatMachIntell. We find that VLMs fall short of human capabilities in intuitive physics, causal reasoning, and intuitive psychology. nature.com/articles/s4225…
ASIC is perhaps the coolest conference if you are into (cognitive) science and mountains (hiking, climbing, etc). I just signed up for this year. There is an early bird registration until end of January: asic.cogs.indiana.edu/2025/index.sht…
