Also: not the usual #NLProc topic, but if you're working on genetic AI models, I’d love to connect! I'm exploring the intersection of behavioral genomics and multi-modal AI for behavior understanding.

Excited to attend #ACL2025NLP in Vienna next week!
I’ll be presenting our #NAACL2025 paper, PICLe, at the first workshop on Large Language Models and Structure Modeling (XLLM) on Friday. Come by our poster if you’re into NER and ICL with pseudo-annotation.

PICLe: Pseudo-Annotations for In-Context Learning in Low-Resource Named Entity Detection
In-context learning (ICL) enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform tasks using few demonstrations, facilitating task adaptation when labeled examples are hard to obtain. However, ICL is sensiti...

🚨 New Preprint!!

Thrilled to share with you our latest work: “Mixture of Cognitive Reasoners”, a modular transformer architecture inspired by the brain’s functional networks: language, logic, social reasoning, and world knowledge.

Couldn't attend @naaclmeeting.bsky.social in person as I didn't get a visa on time 🤷‍♀️ My colleague @mismayil.bsky.social will present PICLe on my behalf today, May 1st, at 3:15 pm in RUIDOSO. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more!

LLMs trained on next-word prediction (NWP) show high alignment with brain recordings. But what drives this alignment—linguistic structure or world knowledge? And how does this alignment evolve during training? Our new paper explores these questions. 👇🧵

Lots of great news out of the EPFL NLP lab these last few weeks. We'll be at @iclr-conf.bsky.social and @naaclmeeting.bsky.social in April / May to present some of our work in training dynamics, model representations, reasoning, and AI democratization. Come chat with us during the conference!

🚨 New Paper!

Can neuroscience localizers uncover brain-like functional specializations in LLMs? 🧠🤖

Yes! We analyzed 18 LLMs and found units mirroring the brain's language, theory of mind, and multiple demand networks!
