Why are some futures harder to imagine, explain or understand? We wondered too — so we built a methodology to measure how people think about future scenarios (and how much effort it takes). 🚀 Excited to share that our FutureVision paper was accepted to #CogSci2025! Curious?👇 arxiv.org/pdf/2502.01597

Fantastic discussion today in my Lang&Cognition grad seminar at UFJF! We kicked off our exploration of how human cognition shapes our thinking about the future with the Decode the Future game by Future Today @amywebb.bsky.social. The seminar is a test flight of FutureMind, my book w/ Mark Turner.

O modelo semântico desenvolvido apresenta desempenho consideravelmente superior tanto em relação a uma IA que só use os dados dos campos fechados do e-SUS quanto em relação a um modelo que usa embeddings de um LLM.

Tiago Torrent @tiagotorrent.com · 21/12/2024

Essa IA rotulou 6 milhões de registros de mulheres atendidas, gerando 25 milhões de pontos de dados anotados para o sentido daquilo que foi registrado nos prontuários. Na sequência, outra IA também desenvolvida no projeto identificou nos dados do e-SUS padrões de violência.

Tiago Torrent @tiagotorrent.com · 21/12/2024

E m parceria com a Vital Strategies, a FrameNet Brasil construiu um modelo semântico baseado em cenas para as áreas da Saúde e da Violência. Depois, construímos um dataset de treinamento anonimizado para uma IA que rotula automaticamente sentenças de prontuários eletrônicos do e-SUS.

a correlation between impolite and offensive discourse towards assistants and growing gender based violence.

Tiago Torrent @tiagotorrent.com · 18/11/2024

Totally… And, again, something lots of people do serious research about (not me), but I have the impression that the medium plays an important role in priming people to behave as if they were giving commands to a machine. I remember this ACL paper where they were investigating +

Tiago Torrent @tiagotorrent.com · 18/11/2024

Not a conversation analyst, but… my wild guess would be a combination of LLM prompting priming with a pinch of “I’m soooo busy and know how to prioritize things so that I crossed politeness and face saving strategies out of my day to day linguistic repertoire…”. Now, seriously… it’s really crazy
