New work from the Google DeepMind neurolab, led by @neurokim.bsky.social and @kevinjmiller.bsky.social. We use an LLM-based approach to discover new cognitive models of animal reward learning. More info in the 🧵.

Can LLMs be used to discover interpretable models of human and animal behavior?🤔 Turns out: yes! Thrilled to share our latest preprint where we used FunSearch to automatically discover symbolic cognitive models of behavior. 1/12

Very pleased to share our recent work, in which we use LLMs for automated discovery of interpretable models of animal behavior 🪰🐀🕵️‍♀️ that take the form of Python programs 🐍 See below for a summary of key results by @pcastr.bsky.social!

I am super excited that I'll be teaching at a summer course on the intersection of #AI and #Neuroscience / #CogSci! My session will explore #ReinforcementLearning and #NeuralNetworks, diving into how these tools help us understand biological intelligence.

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
