What Makes a Sentence Memorable? Inside Language, Memory and LLMs, with Dr. Greta Tuckute

Why don't bigger LLMs look more like the human brain? In the brain's language network, today's large models explain only slightly more variance than GPT-2 XL - and the reason says a lot about what those brain regions actually do. Dr. Greta Tuckute (Research Fellow at the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence, Harvard) joins Jekaterina Novikova on Women in AI Research to unpack what brain-LLM alignment does and does not tell us. Greta works where neuroscience, cognitive science and AI meet - and when asked to keep only one of those three labels, AI is the first
