We work on sentence processing, experimental semantics and pragmatics, and experimental syntax. PI: Dr. Ming Xiang

[NeurIPS Conference @NeurIPSConf]

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.

Very proud of this work with Sanghee Kim @Sanghee__Kim

Work with @UChicagoLangLab on processing appositive (ARCs) vs. restrictive relative clauses (RRCs) is out: https://t.co/QwvsK3XmOG ARCs typically contain side-commentary info; does a distractor in an ARC lead to an absence of agreement attraction effect? (1/8)

@jixingli @ShaonanWang @IJCAIconf @aclmeeting Will there be an online participation option?

[Language Processing Lab @ UChicago @UChicagoLangLab]

@kanishkamisra Yes we are all very proud of her!

Huge congrats to Dr. Sanghee Kim for a successful dissertation defense “Memory encoding and retrieval of discourse structure in human sentence processing”. Very exciting work!@Sanghee__Kim

[Language Processing Lab @ UChicago @UChicagoLangLab]

It was also wonderful to have the defense in the beautiful Uchicago Paris Center.

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: https://t.co/rMJ9QNfKf6 (1/n)

Glad this is out in preprint! Active use of latent constituent representation in both humans and large language models. Many thanks to my wonderful collaborators Wei Liu and @NaiDing789! https://t.co/Omna3Lujc4

[Weijie Xu @weijiexu_97]

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.

At a time when many are struggling to find ways to talk constructively to each other about conflicts occurring both in the U.S. and abroad, LSA is launching a new initiative focused on language, conflict and peace-making. https://t.co/mjZlOzTSFR

[Language Processing Lab @ UChicago @UChicagoLangLab]

Very happy to announce the publication of Eszter Ronai (@linguisticsNU) & Ming Xiang's new paper "What could have been said? Alternatives and variability in pragmatic inferences" in Journal of Memory and Language!
