- Why Does Surprisal From Larger Transformer-Based Language Models Provide a Poorer Fit to Human Reading Times? (2023 · 211 citations)
Classic psycholinguistic studies found that language models with lower perplexity produce surprisal values that better predict human reading behavior. - The Impact of Token Granularity on the Predictive Power of Language Model Surprisal (2025 · 12 citations)
Cognitive modeling often uses word-level surprisal from language models to predict how hard words are for readers, but the effect of subword token granularity has rarely been examined. - Clozing the Gap: Exploring Why Language Model Surprisal Outperforms Cloze Surprisal (2026 · 1 citation)
The paper asks why next-word probabilities from language models predict reading times better than probabilities estimated from human cloze responses. This matters because the choice of predictability measure can change scientific conclusions about prediction in comprehension.
