NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. We want to address the comment made during the invited talk this afternoon, as it is something that NeurIPS does not condone and it doesn't align with our code of conduct. We are addressing this issue with the speaker directly.
NeurIPS is dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place where everyone is treated equally.

Work with @UChicagoLangLab on processing appositive (ARCs) vs. restrictive relative clauses (RRCs) is out: doi.org/10.1111/cogs.13497 ARCs typically contain side-commentary info; does a distractor in an ARC lead to an absence of agreement attraction effect? (1/8)

What does it mean for language comprehension to be “good-enough”? With @rljfutrell, we present a computational formalization of model of shallow and deep processing using rate-distortion theory in our new #CogSci2024 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.08223 (1/n)

How far the implicit learning account can go? Check out our new paper (with @rljfutrell) accepted to #CogSci2024 @cogsci_soc : "A hierarchical Bayesian model for syntactic priming"

Chamois now has all standard features needed for regular reading experiments. We've tested it and are now using it in production with a TRACKPixx3 tracker. Data looks super clean.

[email protected] - help us out by flooding Kent’s VC with emails. Linguistics has been suffocated over years by university marketing strategy we have no control over. Despite everything we’ve produced the best students who have gone on to do PhDs at the best depts in the world.

👉Check our new paper w/ Marco Lai and @liinapy @ImagingNeurosci! We show that the classifiers trained to distinguish phrases vs. nouns in a 2-word MEG paradigm can be applied to a naturalistic setting, bridging the gap between experimental and naturalistic paradigms 😎
New paper in Imaging Neuroscience @mitpress by Jixing Li, Marco Lai and Liina Pylkkänen:
Semantic composition in experimental and naturalistic paradigms

Excited to share our latest ERP study on event representation in working memory, w/ Ellen Lau (UMD), Jialu Li, Hao Zhu, Xing Tian (NYU Shanghai). How are we representing 2-participant events (e.g., an elephant kicking a lion) in working memory? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/10

AAAS does so much to advocate for science and scientists in an increasingly skeptical world. Section Z helps language scientists have a seat at the table. We have rebuilt the Sec Z team over the past year. Join us Nov 10 (on Zoom!) to help shape plans.
