We are done with the ninth Statistical Methods for Linguistics and Psychology (SMLP) summer school, Potsdam, Germany. The tenth edition is planned for 24-28 August 2026.
🚨New Preprint!
In multilingual models, the same meaning can take far more tokens in some languages, penalizing users of underrepresented languages with worse performance and higher API costs. Our Parity-aware BPE algorithm is a step toward addressing this issue: 🧵
A string may get 17 times less probability if tokenised as two symbols (e.g., ⟨he, llo⟩) than as one (e.g., ⟨hello⟩)—by an LM trained from scratch in each situation! Our #acl2025nlp paper proposes an observational method to estimate this causal effect! Longer thread soon!

I wasn't ready for how hard this quote hit this morning when I read it.
I had my whole life flash before my eyes 🤣
The biggest advantage of MoTR over alternative methods is that it is very cheap and fast compared to its alternatives, while still provides very sensitive and accurate measurements. Our online data collection from 60 Russian speakers took less than 24 hours!!
Modi Amir was murdered on Oct 7 while distracting terrorists who raided his home at Kibbutz Kfar Azza, thereby saving his two daughters and grandchild who were hiding in the same house. They were rescued 23 hours later. One of the daughters is a dear friend from high school.💔

אתמול קיבלתי הודעה מענת, שהודיעה לי שאביה נרצח באותה שבת ארורה, וביקשה שאגיע להלווייתו. כמובן שמיד התייצבתי.
מודי (מרדכי) אמיר ז"ל הציל את שתי בנותיו ונכדתו בכפר עזה. כאשר פרצו המרצחים לביתם, מודי היווה הסחת דעת. הוא הנחה את בנותיו להיסגר במקלחת שבתוך הממ"ד ולהיות בשקט, והבטיח…
Israel is livid with pain, fear and anger. Many of the forces in the region are currently led by irresponsible religious fanatics. External forces must intervene to de-escalate the conflict.

The terrorists went from house to house, systematically murdering families, killing parents in front of their children and taking hostages, even babies and grandmothers. How did the state of Israel go missing in action?

Happy to announce that we have two papers accepted at #EMNLP2023 main conference: 1) a diffusion model for generating synthetic eye movements in reading 2) using synthetic human-like eye movements to enhance NLU. Congratulations to @lsbolliger, @qube_si, @padraiglindrome, et al.!
How stable are individual differences in sentence processing? 👀📖 Check out our new preprint "Measurement reliability of individual differences in sentence processing: A cross-methodological reading corpus and Bayesian analysis" with @iva_koncic, @qube_si, and @LenaAJaeger!
This week at #AMLaP2023 I’ll be presenting two posters about ongoing projects! If you’re around and want to chat, let me know! Excited to connect folks and, of course, eat some Pintxos! 🥘🍢😋 (Teasers for the posters below!)
