I study language and how the human brain makes sense of it. TT prof at @Uni_Stuttgart.
These days I’m mostly active on Mastodon at: scholar.social/@tmalsburg You can also follow me on BlueSky where my Mastodon posts are shared via Bridgy: bsky.app/profile/tmalsb…
Fully-funded PhD position in experimental and/or computational psycholinguistics: tmalsburg.github.io/job_ad_2025_ph… Application deadline is August 15.
Just tried to download my Twitter archive but this function seems to be broken. Surely it must be intentional. Pathetic.
Sam Altman's single task is to figure out how AI can be monetized. So far he is failing at that. Am I missing something?
I'm offering a 3-year PhD position with benefits at the University of Stuttgart (1-year extension possible). Research topic is open but broadly in incremental sentence comprehension. If you're into eye-tracking, even better! No teaching obligations until Summer 2027, some light…
I'm hiring at least one post-doc! We're interested in creating language models that process language more like humans than mainstream LLMs do, through architectural modifications and interpretability-style steering.
Krasse Déjà Vus von 2003: Iran strebt angeblich die Atombombe an. Aber selbst Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sagt, dass die US Geheimdienste keine Evidenz dafür haben (anders als 2003, wo die Evidenz einfach fabriziert wurde). In den Medien wird aber schon…
#Emacs turns 50 next year! How are you going to celebrate?
Poster at #AMLaP2025 in Prag. Sebastian Padó and I report a larger-scale evaluation of transformers as cognitive models of morphosyntax processing. Who else is going?
👀 Fascinated by how we read and process language? Explore how eye movement while reading can be used in NLP. Join #ACL2025NLP with the "Eyetracking and NLP" tutorial! #Eyetracking #Psycholinguistics #NLProc 2025.aclweb.org/program/tutori…
👀📖Big news! 📖👀 Happy to announce the release OneStop Eye Movements!🍾🍾 The OneStop dataset is the product of over 6 years of experimental design, data collection and data curation. github.com/lacclab/OneSto…
What's better for reading research? EyeLink 1000+ or Portable Duo? I know the EyeLink well, but didn't have the chance to work with the Duo.
New paper! We show that eye movements during normal reading (no extra task) are effective at predicting reading comprehension as measured by recall. Both early and late eye-movement measures are key. This research was led by the amazing Diane Mézière. ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rr…

Will LLM/transformer-based AI ever be able to respond: "Sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question." If not, what's missing?
Free start-up idea: Exponential decay but for browser tabs.

Hard-earned writing tip: If your paper’s General Discussion is tough to write, it’s often because the Introduction isn’t setting the stage well. Don’t waste your time trying to fix the discussion, work on the intro until the discussion practically writes itself.
