I am delighted to share our new #PNAS paper, with Gaurav Kamath, @mjieyang @sivareddyg and @masonderegger, looking at whether age matters for the adoption of new meanings. That is, as words change meaning, does the rate of adoption vary across generations? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
UMSI is running multiple searches this year, starting with the John Derby Evans Professor in Information! (Assistant or Associate)
This is open to anyone working at the intersection of tech and society, with a closing date of Nov 1, 2025. Please share!

#Analysis of over a century of political speeches shows that #LanguageChange involves speakers of all ages, with older individuals sometimes leading in adopting new word meanings. @mcgillu @PNASNews doi.org/g9v9jf phys.org/news/2025-08-analys…
I'd also be delighted to talk more about this, so if you're at #ACL2025, please send me a message or come say hello!
Please also check out this thread by Gauarv over on Bluesky, which also summarizes our findings: bsky.app/profile/grvkamath.b…

Byte-sized breakthrough: patches scale better than tokens for fixed inference FLOPs.
We finally have a model that can see the e’s in blueberries.
Next step: train an LLM with near-zero preprocessing and get a more accurate generative compression of the internet than ever before
🚀 Introducing the Byte Latent Transformer (BLT) – An LLM architecture that scales better than Llama 3 using byte-patches instead of tokens 🤯

Can laws be translated into software? In a new study,
@nelescher @jeffbilik @nikola_banovic and I show that the translation process is rife with misunderstandings, leading to errors and policy distortions in legal software.
