Extracting Object Feature Norms from Large Language Models

Stephen Mazurchuk1 (), Andrew Anderson1; 1Medical College of Wisconsin

Many cognitive neuroscience researchers collect semantic feature ratings for stimuli. While these ratings are often collected using online systems, it can be costly, and a considerable amount of work is sometimes required to prepare the query. Consequently, there is growing interest in augmenting this task by using the representations contained in large language models. We present and validate a method for extracting semantic ratings using a simple paradigm that allows researchers to easily estimate human norms using freely available open-source language models.
