Lots of fun news I’ve neglected to update here! Our paper on estimating color-concept associations from language models is out in Cognitive Science. Meanwhile, we have two papers on semantic representations in LLMs accepted at COLM (main track) and a workshop paper on automated scientific discovery in cognitive science using LLM agents; see you all in SF in October!
