Excited to co-organize the Bridging Human and LLM Annotations for Social Science tutorial at #ic2s2 tomorrow!

Join us at 1:30pm CEST to learn how to combine Qualtrics+Prolific, MTurk, & LLMs for automated annotation and valid estimates.

Recently, I’ve been busy with the job market and exploring how LLMs can understand, simulate, and influence human behavior. If you’re working on anything related, I’d love to connect! 🤓

And, on Fri at 12pm at the AI & Scientific Discovery Workshop, I’ll present our work on how LLMs can support food scientists and chefs in designing more sustainable diets 🍽️🤖

For a menu design task, equipping LLMs with optimization tools decreases emissions of food choices by 79% in a hypothetical restaurant while maintaining participants’ satisfaction. Simpler baselines (vegetarian only, naive prompting) decrease emissions, too, but they also decrease satisfaction.

Highlights: Food science experts estimated that collaboration with an LLM reduces time spent on a sustainable protein design task by 45%, compared to 22% for collaboration with another expert human food scientist. LLMs generate accurate, specific, and complementary suggestions.
