Billions of Sketches Reveal Hidden Cultural Variation in Human Concepts
Arianna Pera, Mauro Martino, Nima Dehmamy +3
Claims about the universality of human concepts have been predominantly assessed through linguistic similarity across languages and cultures. However, words are effective as commun…
Conspiracy Theory Rabbit Holes Emerge via Interacting Contagions
Fabian Tschofenig, Paul Vicinanza, Henrich Greve +2
Why do people fall into conspiracy theory rabbit holes? Prior research explains rabbit holes via psychological and algorithmic causes, yielding inconsistent findings. Here, we argu…
Free-form Association Tasks Reveal Stereotype Hallucination in Large Language Models
Xinrui Chloe Zhao, Douglas Guilbeault, Amir Goldberg
Recent studies argue that LLMs can predict human stereotypical judgments. Yet whether LLMs emulate the cognitive processes underlying human stereotypes, or merely retrieve learned…
Emergent Directedness in Social Contagion
Fabian Tschofenig, Douglas Guilbeault
An enduring challenge in contagion theory is that the pathways contagions follow through social networks exhibit emergent complexities that are difficult to predict using network s…
Divergences in Color Perception between Deep Neural Networks and Humans
Ethan O. Nadler, Elise Darragh-Ford, Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan +4
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly proposed as models of human vision, bolstered by their impressive performance on image classification and object recognition tasks. Yet…
Signal in Noise: Exploring Meaning Encoded in Random Character Sequences with Character-Aware Language Models
Mark Chu, Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan, Ethan O. Nadler +3
Natural language processing models learn word representations based on the distributional hypothesis, which asserts that word context (e.g., co-occurrence) correlates with meaning.…
