🌟NEW PREPRINT🌟 🤖-based🧠models are all the rage! But, - How do we interpret 🧠if 🤖are SO un-interpretable? - How do we _test_ if🤖are good models of 🧠? (No, your prediction score is NOT the answer) Our new paper (co-lead @vvobot) shows you how! tinyurl.com/vojain2023 1/9

Excited to attend (my first) #CogSci2024 ! I will be giving a **talk on my PhD dissertation this Saturday** Please reach out if you’d like to chat about 🧠🤖💬 or navigating science and academia as an immigrant/PoC! My DMs are open!

Check out this really cool new work on **bilingual speech neuroprostheses** from the indomitable @asilvaalex1 !!

So honored to be awarded the Glushko CogSci dissertation award, along with 6 amazing scientists! I am grateful to my advisor @alex_ander and wonderful collaborators for shaping my research. See you in the Netherlands for a talk on my dissertation at CogSci2024! 🤖🧠💬

Indefinitely here (@shaileejain.bsky.social) and not _here_.

🚨New paper!🚨My first (co)first-authored paper is now out in @NatureHumBehav! We show that neural populations in the language network differ in the size of their temporal receptive windows rdcu.be/dR0sz co-led w/ @tamaregev 1/ 🧵

looking forward to discussing ways to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion at our "diversity lunch" @CogCompNeuro! 12-1.30pm today. everyone welcome and encouraged to join! thank you to my co-hosts @KriesJill and @shaileeejain

Checkout our new work on the relationship between encoding models and language localizers, led by @EyasAyesh! Poster: A94 #CCN2024 @CogCompNeuro Around to chat! 🤖🧠💬

Happy to see this work led by @zaidzada_ now published in @NeuroCellPress! We use LLM embeddings to capture word-by-word linguistic content transmitted from the speaker's brain to the listener's brain in real-time, face-to-face conversations: cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Will present two tutorials w/ @ShaonanWang, Jingyuan Sun and Weihao Xia on brain encoding and decoding at IJCAI @IJCAIconf in Jeju shorturl.at/EbZ8A and ACL @aclmeeting in Bangkok shorturl.at/jeLz7 If you're interested, find us and let's talk! #IJCAI24 #ACL2024NLP

Last Saturday, I had the amazing opportunity to present my thesis work at the #CogSci2024! It was an honor to share the stage with 6 other fantastic Glushko Dissertation Prize winners: @Tianwei_Gong @DaeHoulihan @shaileeejain @RTomMcCoy @HunterSchone & Matthias Grabenhorst.

Dear friends and colleagues -- My lab has a postdoc opening for an exciting new project. We are looking for someone with top software engineering skills. I'd appreciate it if you could RT and distribute widely. Jib posting below: dropbox.com/scl/fi/r9m2544…

Computational Language Modeling and the Promise of In Silico Experimentation | doi.org/10.1162/nol_a_… | by @shaileeejain, @vvobot, Leila Wehbe & @alex_ander

Excited to have our paper on semantic encoding during language comprehension out in Nature this week! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share our work now published in Nature Communications - shared functional specialization in tansformer language models and the human brain! With co-first author @tedsumers, senior author @samnastase and others (@hawkrobe, @TakaYamakoshi). [1/n] nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our review on progress towards a clinically viable speech neuroprosthesis! Thanks to @ChangLabUcsf and co-authors @KayloLittlejohn , @jessierliu , and @AtDavidMoses ! nature.com/articles/s4158…
