Super interesting example! The trained model seems to understand the colliding better than rolling (the colliding part looks more natural)

the benchmark section looks amazing! congrats! 👏

Another interesting project I worked on at @icepfl.bsky.social Kudos to @sjaved.bsky.social and all the co-authors! The findings in MQAT highlight the potential of exploiting modularity in neural networks for efficient and performant compression/adaptation. Check out the #TMLR paper for details!

Yeah, back in the day interns at bd had some serious access permissions, but this is taking it too far; still imo retracting the paper is unlikely, I wonder how neurips will react

Perhaps instead of solely focusing on preventing forgetting in AI systems, we should be asking: How can we implement more selective, adaptive forgetting mechanisms similar in a continual learning framework? [4/4] Thoughts? #continual

So probably, the real challenge isn't preventing ALL forgetting - it's developing mechanisms to identify which patterns should be preserved vs. discarded. This is where biological systems could excel through social feedback, interactions, expert guidance, and iterative refinement. [3/4]

In both natural and artificial learning systems, selective forgetting (perturbation/regularization) could help escape local optima and unlearn inefficient or corrupted patterns (especially relevant given concerns about poisoned training data) [2/4]

💭When reading continual learning literature, there's always the term 'catastrophic forgetting' being discussed as a major challenge. But looking at some efficient learning systems (e.g. biological-based ones), it's hard to not notice forgetting isn't necessarily a bug - it's sometimes a merit. [1/4]

Interesting work, congrats!

any plans for opening offices in lausanne or the french-speaking region? 😜 the weather is warmer and the views are a bit nicer imo (debatable in my old internship team tho)
