How do we equip #AI with the social intelligence it needs to be a good teammate, collaborator, or driver? Embedding real-time cognitive models in DNNs allows them to pick up on humans' latent goals and motives, providing a big step toward effective AI theory of mind: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(Mic check 1-2-3) I'm on the job market🚨 I’m a social psychologist building computational models to study social cognition, attitudes, polarization, and how people update beliefs. Evidence accumulation models, Hierarchical Bayes, Agent-based models, NLP, etc. Interested in formal theorizing!

Out now in Social Cognition! We present the "Tug-of-War" (computational) model of attitude associations. It posits a specific mechanism behind behavior on implicit cognition tasks (IAT here; working to implement it to other tasks). We believe it enhances theory and psychometrics🙌

Machine learning / AI approaches can work well for model comparison and fitting, but how do they stack up against likelihood-based methods like hierarchical Bayes / MCMC? link.springer.com/article/10.3... (Generally the same for fitting, but neural networks were better for model comparison!)

Machine learning methods have recently begun to be used for fitting and comparing cognitive models, yet they have mainly focused on methods for dealing with models that lack tractable likelihoods. Eva...

How do people make good decisions when their options change over time, such as dynamic housing markets? New paper at Psych Review suggests evidence is accumulated for unavailable options -- a serious challenge to "option-specific" diffusion / accumulator models: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
