New preprint! ✨ Do you and your partner have made-up words ("eggy" to mean awkward)? Do you and your bestie have an anecdote you love to tell together (that time one of you tripped over an acorn)? Do you and your closest colleague have a cherished ritual (weekly lunch at "the usual spot")? 🧵
Excited to be teaching a new undergraduate course on Models of Language and Conversation this term!

I've added lots of fun interactive demos of chatbots and NLP techniques that let students dig into the approaches.
📣 New paper out in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B in which we investigated whether conversational alignment — the tendency to reuse each other's words, syntactic constructions, topics, sounds and gestures — can be used as a reliable individual trait. It cannot!

This was a fun conversation about conversation with Topaz Adizes, founder of @theskindeep.bsky.social! I highly recommend checking out their project {THE AND} for beautifully curated, intimate conversations designed to deepen connection.
Looking forward to seeing folks at APS!
Check out this 4-part series on a really rewarding collaboration with filmmakers @theskindeep.bsky.social
We’ve been conducting research on their videos, and they created videos about our research! Excited to see what unfolds as we continue digging deeper together.
