🚨 Preprint! We combine our recent open dataset of #APC prices with the article counts per journal-year from #OpenAlex to estimate how much the academic community has paid in APCs over the last 5 years.

A. $8.349 billion ($8.968 B in 2023 USD)

$2.5B in 2023 alone.

Possibly helping the hearing sciences to use more naturalistic speech materials to assess comprehension.
Language-agnostic, automated assessment of listeners' speech recall using large language models
Speech-comprehension difficulties are common among older people. Standard speech tests do not fully capture such difficulties because the tests poorly resemble the context-rich, story-like nature of o...

New Preprint 🚨

This research with @bjherrmann.bsky.social, @alexbarnett.bsky.social, and @barense.bsky.social extends previous work exploring how LLMs can simulate human event segmentation, with applications for automated recall assessments.

Event Segmentation Applications in Large Language Model Enabled Automated Recall Assessments
Understanding how individuals perceive and recall information in their natural environments is critical to understanding potential failures in perception (e.g., sensory loss) and memory (e.g., dementi...
