Papers
- Do large language models resemble humans in language use? (2023 · 39 citations)
The paper asks whether chatbots built on large language models show the behavioural regularities that psycholinguists have documented in people. - Large Language Models for Automated Literature Review: An Evaluation of Reference Generation, Abstract Writing, and Review Composition (2025 · 14 citations)
Researchers increasingly ask plain chatbots without retrieval support to help draft literature reviews. Yet nobody has systematically measured how trustworthy these outputs are. The authors build a fully automatic benchmark with no human in the loop. They use 1,105 expert-written reviews published in 2023 across 51… - Locate, Steer, and Improve: A Practical Survey of Actionable Mechanistic Interpretability in Large Language Models (2026 · 9 citations)
Most earlier reviews of mechanistic interpretability (MI) in LLMs describe what researchers have discovered inside models. - Unveiling Language Competence Neurons: A Psycholinguistic Approach to Model Interpretability (2025 · 8 citations)
Large language models often respond like people in psycholinguistic experiments, but it remains unclear which internal units support these abilities. - Does ChatGPT Resemble Humans in Processing Implicatures? (2023 · 4 citations)
The paper asks whether ChatGPT handles conversational implicatures the way people do. Implicatures are meanings a listener infers beyond the literal content, for example reading "most" as "not all". The authors ran three preregistered experiments on the Feb 13 version of ChatGPT and reused paradigms from human…
