Interesting paper showing how LLMs change their representational geometry in-context to match a task structure: arxiv.org/abs/2501.00070 Here, the model’s latent representations show a grid structure matching the task. #MLSKy #NeuroAI

This is how academia loses people who were at some point interested in devoting their lives to research. In my case, two bachelors (7y), an interdisciplinary (hence 3y) masters and now in the middle of my PhD, I’m wondering if I’d like to work way more than others to gain less and have no freedoms.

From spiking neuronal networks to interpretable dynamics: a diffusion-approximation framework
Modeling and interpreting the complex recurrent dynamics of neuronal spiking activity is essential to understanding how networks implement behavior and cognition. Nonlinear Hawkes process models can c...

All models are wrong, some models are artificial neural networks.

Do other animals understand hierarchical processing? Or it's unique for humans? I know there's a debate on this and I would love to hear your perspective on this. 🧠 #neuroscience #compneuro

Talking to my colleagues at lunch time I remembered a #game I used (forced) to play (by my nephew 5-6yo then ahaha) called Machinarium. A combination of series of #brainteasers and #puzzles to help a robot (that you reassemble 😄) to restore his friend to sanity in an eponymous city…

Extremely amazing to think about: Interactive bioacoustic playback as a tool for detecting and exploring nonhuman intelligence: “conversing” with an Alaskan humpback whale They talked for 20 mins!! They took turns! The question is what the topic was !? #animals #conversation #neuroscience

👻 The scariest thing about Halloween is the air temperature (25.5C/78F in NYC).
US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Global Land and Ocean Average Temperature Anomalies for October. Annual October temps, in comparison with 1979-2000 average.
Chart shows October temperatures generally below or at average until 1980, when a staircase-like climb in temperatures proceeds to 2023, which breaks the monthly record by a bonkers amount.

Moral lesson of the day: when NLTK doesn’t work, before anything, question your python version!
