1/7 Excited to share my last PhD article, just accepted to ICML 2026! In it, we (me, Alexandre Payeur, Guillaume Lajoie) used dynamical systems theory to study "local" learning in linear recurrent neural networks. See link for the paper, and thread for a brief summary. arxiv.org/abs/2606.00243

Dynamics and Representation Structure of Local Approximations to Gradient-Based Learning in Linear Recurrent Neural Networks
Biological and neuromorphic recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are subject to spatial and temporal locality constraints on the information that can plausibly be used during learning. A common strategy t...

Excited to share our ICLR Oral paper, co-lead with Pratyaksh Sharma, and with @lucas-prieto.bsky.social Pedro Mediano! We study how feature geometry is shaped by memory demands in RNNs, introducing the concept of temporal superposition. openreview.net/forum?id=7cM...

Had a really fun time collaborating on this project with a great team. I’ll be at NeurIPs next week to present it, come by and check out our paper for more!

Thrilled to share our NeurIPS Spotlight paper with Jan Bauer*, @aproca.bsky.social*, @saxelab.bsky.social, @summerfieldlab.bsky.social, Ali Hummos*! openreview.net/pdf?id=AbTpJ... We study how task abstractions emerge in gated linear networks and how they support cognitive flexibility.
