Humans do not remember all experiences uniformly. We remember certain moments better than others, and central gist better than detail. Current theories focus exclusively on surprise to explain why som...

The preprint of my 1st project in grad school is up 🙌 We propose a simple, information-theoretic model of how humans remember narratives. We tested it with the help of open-source LLMs. Plz check out this thread for details ➡️ Many thanks to my wonderful advisors! It's been a fun adventure!!
