    Great new work, spearheaded by @xiulin_yang, about how to fairly compare models across languages. To be presented at #EMNLP2026!!

    🍎🍊 How would you know if a language model is better at one language than another? Our #EMNLP2026 paper argues that only one metric can actually lead to fair crosslingual evaluation. This work is a collaboration with @weGotlieb & @linguist_cat! (1/5)

    Check out our new paper on the role of function words in language acquisition. @xiulin_yang has done an amazing job incorporating multiple methods --- Crosslinguistic analysis! Controlled rearing! Interpretability!

    🎉 Happy to share that our paper on function words & language learning (w/ Heidi Getz & @weGotlieb) is accepted to #ACL2026! A little late to the party, but still worth celebrating 🥳 We ask: what statistical properties help a learner abstract grammatical knowledge from linear

    I will be recruiting PhD students via Georgetown Linguistics this application cycle! Come join us in the PICoL (pronounced “pickle”) lab. We focus on psycholinguistics and cognitive modeling using LLMs. See the linked flyer for more details: bit.ly/3L3vcyA

    Check out Xiulin's paper at #ACL2025 for new results on LMs learning "impossible" and typologically unattested languages!

    🥳Thrilled to present our #ACL2025 paper with @t_aoyam, @yuekun_yao, and @weGotlieb on language modeling! Can LMs’ learning dynamics distinguish typologically attested from unattested and from truly impossible languages? We test this across 12 languages and find: yes, but…👀
