1/ New preprint! Reasoning models often require hundreds of task examples and thousands of rollouts to improve on a task. How can they learn more from much less?

Introducing CORE: contrastive self-reflection for rapid, sample-efficient, and interpretable self-improvement 🧵

🚨Out now in @TrendsCognSci 🚨

We explore the use of cognitive theories/models with real-world data for understanding mental health.

We review emerging studies and discuss challenges and opportunities of this approach.

Synchronized behavior without intelligent central control is common in nature. And it's something we actually understand for a change. @ncasenmare made this firefly simulator that explains the basics. Based on an example from @stevenstrogatz book "Sync".

Ever found that your social media feed feels more emotionally intense than it really is?

We show how the aggregation of emotional intensity across posts leads to overestimation of emotional intensity on social media.

🚨New paper in @TrendsCognSci 🚨

Why do some ideas spread widely, while others fail to catch on?

@Jayvanbavel and I review the “psychology of virality,” or the psychological and structural factors that shape information spread online and offline.
