🧪 10 years ago I published my first paper.

I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to work with EEG again for a few years now but still so proud of the one that started my career.

Towards a Criteria‐Based Approach to Selecting Human‐AI Interaction Mode Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are now prevalent in many knowledge work industries. As AI becomes more capable and interactive, there is a growing need for guidance on how to employ AI most effec...

🧪🤖Our latest paper: Towards a Criteria-Based Approach to Selecting Human-AI Interaction Mode is now out.

We made a handy rubric to help decisions around adding AI to your work. AI isn’t always the solution but if it is, thinking about how your workflow changes is vital!

CHI Talk - Descript ​ Deepfakes can be hard to spot, and as the technology that generates these artificial images improves, it may get even harder. So what if we had some help? A decision support tool that helps us iden

Instead, how much someone trusted the AI greatly influenced the agreement with AI advice. We explored how this developed by modelling how trust evolved over time. We found expectations of the AI’s accuracy changed over time and the violations of these expectations predicted trust in AI.

Participants performed a deepfake detection task with advice from AI presented at different stages of the decision making process. We found the timing of advice had minimal impact on the rate of agreement with the AI or the accuracy of their classifications.

Ever wonder how well frontier models (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Flash & Pro, GPT-4o, o1-mini & o1-preview) play Atari, chess, or tic-tac-toe?

We present LMAct, an in-context imitation learning benchmark with long multimodal demonstrations (arxiv.org/abs/2412.01441).

Why do I think these instances are interesting? To me, these are not just random instances that LLMs are sometimes wrong (like people), these are *diagnostic* that LLMs do not have a world model and are not “reasoning”, it exposes the basic architecture. Why? 1/n

Does brain activity cause consciousness? A thought experiment The authors of this Essay examine whether action potentials cause consciousness in a three-step thought experiment that assumes technology is advanced enough to fully manipulate our brains.

The craziest paper I have ever done is this thought experiment with Albert Gidon and Matt Larkum.

In the first journal, reviewer 1 recommended that we should not try to publish this; reviewer 2 called it "wacky". Thanks for the motivation: A sequel is coming up!

Examining the replicability of online experiments selected by a decision market - Nature Human Behaviour This study finds that decision markets can be a useful tool for selecting studies for replication. For a sample of 26 online experiments published in PNAS selected by a decision market, the authors fi...

New in NHB: We systematically replicated 26 of 41 PNAS social science studies that used MTurk. The approach provides a proof-of-concept for using decision markets to select findings to replicate.

Replication effect sizes were 45% of original effect sizes.

Anthropic posts something a lot of social scientists studying AI have been thinking - you need to apply basic statistical methods to AI evaluations!

A solid attempt to lay out how to do better tests with basic methodology. https://buff.ly/3OijwX0

Our latest work, up as a preprint to enjoy.

We gave LLMs tasks adapted from experimental psychology to see how they contribute to teamwork.

We found LLMs were reasonable at monitoring tasks but were poor at tasks requiring planning and strategising.

Looking up some cognitive task analysis figures this morning and kept finding those slides with the blue background and yellow text.

Took me down a rabbit hole about why these things were everywhere. Someone else had the same idea.
