The main arguments lie in the fact that it is an agenda that gives qualitative results very quickly, everyone can relate to it, and most can contribute meaningfully to an interesting research project since the subject is language. Additionally, we’re seeing good Black Box Interpretability projects popping up here and there that work well as inspiration and it is something that is defined quite well (since its ancestor Cognitive Psychology has existed for quite a while). I’m curious if we should use the name Xenocognitive Psychology instead since it’s on such strange neural beings.
I would be interested in discussing with you the process that led to the choice of this hackathon topic.
But congratulations for the organization!
Anytime :))
