The Pragmatic Mind of Machines: Tracing the Emergence of Pragmatic Competence in Large Language Models
Current large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated emerging capabilities in social intelligence tasks, including implicature resolution (Sravanthi et al. (2024)) and theory-of-mind reasoning (Shapira et al. (2024)), both of which require substantial pragmatic understanding.
Thinking Out Loud: Do Reasoning Models Know When They're Right?
Large reasoning models (LRMs) have recently demonstrated impressive capabilities in complex reasoning tasks by leveraging increased test-time computation and exhibiting behaviors reminiscent of human-like self-reflection.
Leveraging Human Production-Interpretation Asymmetries to Test LLM Cognitive Plausibility
Whether large language models (LLMs) process language similarly to humans has been the subject of much theoretical and practical debate.
Sympathy over Polarization: A Computational Discourse Analysis of Social Media Posts about the July 2024 Trump Assassination Attempt
On July 13, 2024, at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania, someone attempted to assassinate Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump.
Language of Bargaining
Leveraging an established exercise in negotiation education, we build a novel dataset for studying how the use of language shapes bilateral bargaining.
Large Language Models Are Partially Primed in Pronoun Interpretation
Recent psycholinguistic studies suggest that humans adapt their referential biases with recent exposure to referential patterns; closely replicating three relevant psycholinguistic experiments from Johnson & Arnold (2022) in an in-context learning (ICL) framework, we found that InstructGPT adapts its pronominal interpretations in response to the frequency of referential patterns in the local discourse, though in a limited fashion: adaptation was only observed relative to syntactic but not semantic biases.
GreenPLM: Cross-Lingual Transfer of Monolingual Pre-Trained Language Models at Almost No Cost
Large pre-trained models have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) research and applications, but high training costs and limited data resources have prevented their benefits from being shared equally amongst speakers of all the world's languages.
Analyzing Polarization in Social Media: Method and Application to Tweets on 21 Mass Shootings
We provide an NLP framework to uncover four linguistic dimensions of political polarization in social media: topic choice, framing, affect and illocutionary force.
Socially Responsible NLP
As language technologies have become increasingly prevalent, there is a growing awareness that decisions we make about our data, methods, and tools are often tied up with their impact on people and societies.
