Sprogmodeller skal blive bedre til sprog 🗣️ Tillykke til ITU-lektor Rob van der Goot, der med støtte fra @carlsbergfondet.dk vil undersøge, hvordan man kan integrere sproglig viden direkte i sprogmodellers design. Det udfordrer den dominerende tilgang, der primært bygger på data og beregningskraft.

New paper in Science: In a platform-independent field experiment, we show that reranking content expressing antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity in social media feeds alters affective polarization. 🧵

Today, social media platforms hold the sole power to study the effects of feed-ranking algorithms. We developed a platform-independent method that reranks participants’ feeds in real time and used this method to conduct a preregistered 10-day field experiment with 1256 participants on X during the 2024 US presidential campaign. Our experiment used a large language model to rerank posts that expressed antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity (AAPA). Decreasing or increasing AAPA exposure shifted out-party partisan animosity by more than 2 points on a 100-point feeling thermometer, with no detectable differences across party lines, providing causal evidence that exposure to AAPA content alters affective polarization. This work establishes a method to study feed algorithms without requiring platform cooperation, enabling independent evaluation of ranking interventions in naturalistic settings.

It was a ton of fun to play a small role in this project lead by the brilliant Marta Ewa Lech & @jonassjuul.bsky.social. A lot of drama & change in the world of music reflected in the song-dynamics of the Billboard Hot 100!

New paper out in EPJ Data Science! We analyze 65 years of Billboard Hot 100 data to ask: 🎵Are songs moving differently up and down the chart nowadays? 📉 Are hits shorter-lived? 📈 Or do superstars dominate more than ever? Paper: epjdatascience.springeropen.com/articles/10.... 🧵 1/7

I am ecstatic to join the Danish Young Academy starting September 2025. I cannot wait to meet the other members, start new collaborations, and learn more about the new opportunities and challenges that lie at the intersection of research, universities, and society in Denmark.

New paper alert. "More is different" & the LLMs. LLMs are usually studied in isolation. But what happens when they start interacting? We explored this by looking at their collective behaviour. Work with @ariel-flint.bsky.social and @lajello.bsky.social 1/

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24089… Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Map showing a highway section in red and social ties in space crossing the highway. Wherever a tie crosses the highway, there is a cross. There are 94 crosses.
