The Bottleneck Paradox and the God Algorithm

The human cortex is a gigantic structure, capable of storing on the order of 200-260 terabytes of information.

Excited to announce our new study in which we convert mouse neural responses into natural language (English) descriptions of odorants. Comments, suggestions are highly appreciated as always: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

my talk at a physics workshop about genomic bottleneck (a work with @tonyzador.bsky.social and Sergey Shuvaev). any comments on the (half-joking) triple inheritance theory are much appreciated: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zD...

Our DeepNose paper is in arxiv. In it, we present an equivariant CNN which can predict human olfactory perception based on molecular shapes, including mixtures. Comments/suggestions are very welcome. arxiv.org/abs/2412.08747

DeepNose: An Equivariant Convolutional Neural Network Predictive Of Human Olfactory Percepts

The olfactory system employs responses of an ensemble of odorant receptors (ORs) to sense molecules and to generate olfactory percepts. Here we hypothesized that ORs can be viewed as 3D spatial filter...
