5/ In short, LLMs can learn representations that are structural and modular in both activation and weight space. But at the same time, they remain context sensitive - so they capture ways in which human cognition deviates from purely symbolic architectures. In this way, they can move forward this long standing debate by providing an example computational system that combines these properties.

I posted about Ellie Pavlick’s excellent talk on compositionality in at last week. I just saw that she is also giving this keynote and anyone can watch it here:

I recommend it!

Are you planning to attend #CCN2025?

Are you worried about climate change, declining trust in science, misinformation, and the effects of AI?

Do you want to reflect on how to direct your skills and aptitudes to tackle today's most pressing social problems?

Computational cognitive neuroscientists have much to contribute.

Come to Amsterdam a day early to attend our satellite event on Science for Social Good.

Let's chart our paths to impact together.
