TraSE: Towards Tackling Authorial Style from a Cognitive Science Perspective
Wilson, Ronald, Bhandarkar, Avanti, Woodard, Damon
Stylistic analysis of text is a key task in research areas ranging from authorship attribution to forensic analysis and personality profiling. The existing approaches for stylistic analysis are plagued by issues like topic influence, lack of discriminability for large number of authors and the requirement for large amounts of diverse data. In this paper, the source of these issues are identified along with the necessity for a cognitive perspective on authorial style in addressing them. A novel feature representation, called Trajectory-based Style Estimation (TraSE), is introduced to support this purpose. Authorship attribution experiments with over 27,000 authors and 1.4 million samples in a cross-domain scenario resulted in 90% attribution accuracy suggesting that the feature representation is immune to such negative influences and an excellent candidate for stylistic analysis. Finally, a qualitative analysis is performed on TraSE using physical human characteristics, like age, to validate its claim on capturing cognitive traits.
AI for Mathematics: A Cognitive Science Perspective
Zhang, Cedegao E., Collins, Katherine M., Weller, Adrian, Tenenbaum, Joshua B.
Mathematics is one of the most powerful conceptual systems developed and used by the human species. Dreams of automated mathematicians have a storied history in artificial intelligence (AI). Rapid progress in AI, particularly propelled by advances in large language models (LLMs), has sparked renewed, widespread interest in building such systems. In this work, we reflect on these goals from a \textit{cognitive science} perspective. We call attention to several classical and ongoing research directions from cognitive science, which we believe are valuable for AI practitioners to consider when seeking to build truly human (or superhuman)-level mathematical systems. We close with open discussions and questions that we believe necessitate a multi-disciplinary perspective -- cognitive scientists working in tandem with AI researchers and mathematicians -- as we move toward better mathematical AI systems which not only help us push the frontier of the mathematics, but also offer glimpses into how we as humans are even capable of such great cognitive feats.
A Cognitive Science perspective for learning how to design meaningful user experiences and human-centered technology
Misinterpreted or misleading in cognitive science, human-computer interaction (HCI) and stories or facts are known to "go viral" and to increase the natural-language processing (NLP) to consider how analogical likelihood for incivility [11]. Referred to as "misinformation" reasoning (AR) could help inform the design of communication or "disinformation," the phenomenon is, in part, a product of and learning technologies, as well as online communities (exploiting) analogical reasoning and normal cognitive processes and digital platforms. First, analogical reasoning (AR) is [3, 19]. Problematically, digital platforms are efficient defined, and use-cases of AR in the computing sciences are mechanisms for spreading rumors, participating in misinterpretations, presented. The concept of schema is introduced, along with and for misconstruing fact-sharing as opinion [16].
