Everything is terrible but Becky Chambers has a new book coming out 🎉 (in October 😩)

<Ani pls finish those journal submissions instead of adding conference abstracts to the pipeline>

Need a #reviewer for a submitted article about #EEG decoding of #spoken and/or #imagined #words. Please contact me if you can review — thanks! Otherwise pls boost! #ACM #TALLIP #NLP #NLProc #psycholinguistics

Sigh

🙃🙃🙃🙃

every single time I see a university announcement breathlessly pushing commercial gAI or partnerships with OpenAI, Microsoft, etc I have a moment of incredulous rage: how little the university values the work of its own.

Nice!

Nerdsniped into reading two disseratations in reviewing a paper

If I have to read one more novel in which an USian romanticizes the Italian “slow pace of living”…

I had a long work day planned but my laptop is not letting me log in (sigh) so I guess… anime time?

I hate airline companies so so much

"We should not be content with theories and models that prioritize numerical correlation over explanation, that blur their metatheoretical ties, and which render our fields closer to pseudoscience. Computational cognitive science in principle can and should do more than merely model data." ❤️‍🔥🔥

Finals week ended Wednesday and we have to post finalized final grades by Monday.

Solidarity with all the workers of the world. ✊🏼 They are nothing without us. “Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.” - Dolores Huerta

YES to everything Kirby says here, it warms my heart (and makes me feel very seen as both someone who tries to ask himself "why am I teaching this" often, and as a kind-of-syntactitian)

I bought a book but found out after buying it that it was a sequel, so I had to buy another book

Help I agreed to do too many reviews again 😩

Maybe it's just me, but I think that there is something broken in a conference that costs $1,050.00 (for EARLY registration!). We can pretend that it is a multidisciplinary venue but in practice who gets to go?

It would be worth for the whole field to reread Kaplan's beautiful "Three Seductions of Computational Psycholinguistics" once in a while d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97323696/For...?

sigh

Oh cool!

I keep dreaming about high speed trains in the US

sigh

I forgot how much I loathe O’Hare

I finished Negative Positive Angler. what a sweet anime . I came for the slice of life and stayed for the fishing and the surprisingly nuanced portrayal of depression 😅

superstars in the field 🙄still talk about transformations as if it’s 1985. please move on we all have

Last day of classes (😭🎉! My Undergrad coding for the humanities class is simulating a poster session to present their posters! All proposals looked really fun so I am looking forward to it!

After FIVE YEARS of development, Demon Castle Mononoke is finally live for crowdfunding on Gamefound!! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Betrayed again by SLC (a new bakery was making delicious babka loafs but nobody was buying them so they stopped 😭😭😭)

Anyone has access to a copy of Comrie, 1981. "Negation and other verb categories in the Uralic languages"?

Any immigrant raised Catholic outside of the USA could have told you this, but it’s fascinating seeing the rest of the world at last realize that that US Catholics are in fact Protestants who enjoy fancier churches

ROLE conf started now! You can still register and join — and presentations will be online! We started with an inspiring intro by Dani who stated that our research must reflect a reality where mobility, migration, and multilingualism are the norm

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Super thrilled that my article "Prosody" is now available to read in the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science! oecs.mit.edu/pub/1w4cqquc... Thanks to @asifamajid.bsky.social and @mcxfrank.bsky.social for the opportunity and for creating such an amazing resource for our community!

Two days ago I was outside in a t-shirt and now it’s snowing. but yeah all good here, totally normal

All the interesting dessert places in SLC are closing sigh

Nice (/s) to get university emails about measles outbreaks on campus, like we were in Europe in the 1800s

Post conference crash down

How do we read faster than our brains process each word? Out now in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, @lizschotter.bsky.social and I explore how co-registering eye-tracking and EEG helps solve this paradox by looking "beyond" the individual fixation to probe dynamic coupling between the brain and eyes.

important on LLMs for academics: 1️⃣ LLMs are usefully seen as lossy content-addressable systems 2️⃣ we can't automatically detect plagiarism 3️⃣ LLMs automate plagiarism & paper mills 4️⃣ we must protect literature from pollution 5️⃣ LLM use is a CoI 6️⃣ prompts do not cause output in authorial sense

I’ll keep screaming this but surprisal does NOT allow you do not worry about representations

Today 👇👇👇

Airports permitting, I will be at #HSP2026 this week! I am really lucky and have really really cool collaborators (students and not), so a thread of posters (some in each poster session, lol/sigh)! 🧠💬 🧵⬇️

It should be illegal for conferences to start before 9am

Italian just (barely sigh, but still) voted no to a terrible Justice referendum so, small victories

Cool people doing cool work

I would like for a certain conference to stop rearranging the program

Ahhh cool
