The Road to Success: Assessing the Fate of Linguistic Innovations in Online Communities
We investigate the birth and diffusion of lexical innovations in a large dataset of online social communities. We build on sociolinguistic theories and focus on the relation between the spread of a novel term and the social role of the individuals who use it, uncovering characteristics of innovators and adopters. Finally, we perform a prediction task that allows us to anticipate whether an innovation will successfully spread within a community.

A model of grassroots changes in linguistic systems
Linguistic norms emerge in human communities because people imitate each other. A shared linguistic system provides people with the benefits of shared knowledge and coordinated planning. Once norms are in place, why woul…
Generative Linguistics, Large Language Models, and the Social Nature of Scientific Success
Chesi's (forthcoming) target paper depicts a generative linguistics in crisis, foreboded by Piantadosi's (2023) declaration that "modern language models refute Chomsky's approach to language." In order to survive, Chesi …

Recent breakthroughs in generative simulation have harnessed Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate diverse robotic task curricula, yet these open-loop paradigms frequently produce linguistically coherent but physicall…
What are the Goals of Distributional Semantics?
Distributional semantic models have become a mainstay in NLP, providing useful features for downstream tasks. However, assessing long-term progress requires explicit long-term goals. In this paper, I take a broad linguis…
FATE-LLM: A Industrial Grade Federated Learning Framework for Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, LLaMA, GLM, and PaLM, have exhibited remarkable performances across various tasks in recent years. However, LLMs face two main challenges in real-world applications. One cha…
