AI language models are booming. The current frontrunner is ChatGPT, which can do everything from taking a bar exam, to creating an HR policy, to writing a movie script.
The success of scientific endeavors often depends on support from public research grants. Successful applicants increasingly describe their proposed research using promotional language ("hype"); however, it remains unclear whether they use hype in their subsequent research publications.
A team University of Washington researchers have published a guide explaining language models, the technology that underlies chatbots.
The Speech Accessibility Project is now recruiting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults with cerebral palsy.
NIH-funded research at Binghamton University, State University of New York explores how children with dyslexia and developmental language disorder can build their vocabulary.
