Are similar representations in neural nets evidence of shared computation? In new theory work w/ Lukas Braun (lukasbraun.com) & @saxelab.bsky.social, we prove that representational comparisons are ill-posed in general, unless networks are efficient. @icmlconf.bsky.social @cogcompneuro.bsky.social

Sad to miss #CCN2025. It will be the 1st conference where a PhD working w/ me will speak 😭 go see Lubna's talk (Friday) about distributed neural correlates of flexible decision making in 🐒, work done in collaboration w/ @scottbrincat.bsky.social @siegellab.bsky.social & @earlkmiller.bsky.social

A common takeaway from "the bitter lesson" is we don't need to put effort into encoding inductive biases, we just need compute. Nothing could be further from the truth! Better inductive biases mean better scaling exponents, which means exponential improvements with computation.
