Studying multi-agent collaboration 🤝🧩🤖 PhD Candidate at Princeton CS with Tom Griffiths & Natalia Vélez @cocoscilab.bsky.social @velezcolab.bsky.social Prev: Cornell CS, MIT BCS
Bonan's energy and excitement for CogSci are truly unmatched 🤩 Apply!
Bonan Zhao (赵博囡)My Lab at the University of Edinburgh🇬🇧 has funded PhD positions for this cycle! We study the computational principles of how people learn, reason, and communicate. It's a new lab, and you will be playing a big role in shaping its culture and foundations. Spread the words!
Really exciting step toward AI-informed policy design! Nice work @sethkarten.ai 🙌
Seth Karten🚀 New preprint! 🤔 Can one agent “nudge” a synthetic civilization of Census‑grounded agents toward higher social welfare—all by optimizing utilities in‑context? Meet the LLM Economist ↓
I've learned so much working with Rachit! Highly recommend joining his lab 👏
Rachit DubeyHeaded to #CogSci2025 next week! Interested in computational cognitive science applied to climate change and real-world policy? Come find me! My lab at UCLA is recruiting 1–2 fully funded PhD students. We work on: • decision-making • climate perception • human–AI collaboration for policy design
So excited our paper is now out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social! Huge thanks to our editor and reviewers 🧠 Their thoughtful suggestions inspired Experiments 3 & 4, including a striking inverse correlation between idleness judgments and speed-up predictions
Cognition“People Evaluate Idle Collaborators Based on their Impact on Task Efficiency” 📢 New paper from: Elizabeth Mieczkowski, Cameron Rouse Turner, Natalia Vélez, & Tom Griffiths www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... TL;DR: Sometimes it's acceptable not to help with group work 🧵👇
Excited to share our findings on prediction in the brain’s "physics network" 🧠 Honored to have contributed to this work, & huge kudos to @rtpramod.bsky.social for leading the project!
RT PramodThrilled to announce our new publication titled 'Decoding predicted future states from the brain's physics engine' with @emiecz.bsky.social, Cyn X. Fang, @nancykanwisher.bsky.social, @joshtenenbaum.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/full/10.... (1/n)
