This project aims to create and validate a new class of large language models that capture and partially explain semantic variation between people. We will (1) measure nuanced differences in word meaning and linguistic experience across individuals; (2) develop computational models that incorporate this variation; and (3) evaluate the extent to which the models capture behavioural and cognitive differences related to political affiliation, gender, and culture. This will advance our understanding of the nature and origin of individual differences as well as improve the calibration of AI systems for under-represented groups. These advances will support eventual applied outcomes in health, domestic security, and resilience to misinformation.

该项目旨在创建和验证新的大型语言模型，这些模型捕获并部分解释人们之间的语义变化。我们将（1）衡量单词含义和语言经验的细微差异； （2）开发包含这种变化的计算模型； （3）评估模型捕获与政治隶属关系，性别和文化有关的行为和认知差异的程度。这将提高我们对个体差异的性质和起源的理解，并改善代表性不足群体的AI系统的校准。这些进步将支持最终在健康，国内安全和对错误信息的弹性方面的应用结果。
