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

Join us NOW for a great talk by @olivia.science at COGS: staff.sussex.ac.uk/events/detai...

Growth is recognizing that still feeling you have been unproductive after submitting two papers over “break” is NOT OK.

Resharing again! I'm looking for a postdoc with experience or interests in longitudinal data collection OR analysis: indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/32132

If you eye track or think you might want to do so in the future, you must check out this new system. It’s faster, better, cheaper, and open source!

A lil mercy is that this first week of daylight savings overlaps with my spring break

Hey #langsky! Any feedback you might have on these lexicons is appreciated! You can start a discussion at github.com/layers-pub/l.... 🐦🐦

lol the weather app in SLC is completely useless these days

I wonder what kind of stories the effective altruism folks that moved to that one company are telling themselves these days

Students being able to receive the supports that will help them be successful is a good thing. The problem isn’t students gaming the system. The problem is a system that requires them to be labeled as having a disability to receive that support.

I’m not gonna reshared that clickbait post but what a sad, arid view of social science research (and research in general) some people have

there are no “theory neutral” models and if your modeling paper paper starts with that as an “advantage” of your approach you have immediately lost me

It’s really weird to read some people (USians ofc) online think Italy is some kind of progressive country just cuz a very selected crowd booed YouKnowWho at the Olympics. Please read like, half a paragraph about our current government, our immigration policies, etc etc etc 🙃

Very grateful for good collaborators and being able to have fun discussions with them even during bleak times

Will this SCiL paper happen? My brain (which should be focused on writing) thinks not

Happy Monday! The system my university uses for dual authentication into our mandated Office software (ie everything we use!) is down! So we can’t log in into anything 🙃😂🙃

Friends keep asking for suggestions on how to support their kids’s interest in coding (9+yo) and I m the wrong person to ask so I’ll crowdsource: bluesky coders, recs?

btw instead of listening to mediocre former tech ceos about how ai is bad but an imaginary "ethical ai" will save us, go read what @emilymbender.bsky.social, @olivia.science, @timnitgebru.bsky.social and others have to say

Reminded that there are few more corrosive trends in higher education in recent years than the divide and conquer approach to undermining faculty solidarity by focusing on numbers of majors. Each degree pathway at an institution is strengthened by each other form of expertise available to students.

I have been posting grumpy stuff recently so on the positive side, I am doing long distance dependencies as SP and TSL in my comp ling class today and I hope we have fun discussions about what “locality” even means

My Uni: “we are in dire budget times and more cuts might be coming” Also my Uni: “we just spent $$$ on an exciting ChatGptEDU plan, everyone should use it so we (?!?) can figure out what its purpose/use cases are” 🙃🙃🙃

Love copying my CV line by line into Elements' random categories, while then ALSO having to submit my actual CV. Great use of my time U of U, truly a paragon of efficiency /s

I guess I am young inside cuz OFC Nutella and whipped cream is the correct choice (with some berries if possible)

Salt flats

My box full of Girl Scout cookies arrived!!!

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Only reposting NYT articles when there good linguists mentioned

Got pastries, bought books

This is gonna be so cool (no way I can make the submission deadline and I live to far to just go but y all should!!!)

SLC: <tries to do the minimum (the bar is really low) to make the city livable as a city, not a giant drive-through> Utah Legislature: <no>

Probably the only reform science needs is to dethrone its gods and heroes, and abolish and purge all elite (and otherwise) boys clubs. I strongly suspect everything else would start falling into place after that.

Thanks to those LinkedIn followers who volunteered! (None from here 😕) While we are in Semitic territory, we also need volunteers for reviewing a paper about transcribing from a Semitic language text to phonetic symbols (IPA). Pls contact me if you can review it! Thx! #linguistics #phonetic #NLP
