Excited to share new work @icmlconf by Loek van Rossem exploring the development of computational algorithms in recurrent neural networks. Hear it live tomorrow, Oral 1D, Tues 14 Jul West Exhibition Hall C: icml.cc/virtual/2025/p… Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=3go0l… (1/11)
🚀 Exciting news! Our paper "From Lazy to Rich: Exact Learning Dynamics in Deep Linear Networks" has been accepted at ICLR 2025! arxiv.org/abs/2409.14623 A thread on how relative weight initialization shapes learning dynamics in deep networks. 🧵 (1/9)
We are hosting & organising the UK Neural Computation Conference 2025 @imperialcollege! 🚀 Fantastic set of speakers, see at neuralcomputation.uk It’s an incredibly exciting time to be working at the intersection of comp neuro/AI & applications. Save the dates: 9th July -…
Save the date! UK Neural Computation 2025 will be at Imperial College London 9 July: ECR day 10-11 July: main meeting 9 invited speakers, 4 talks from abstracts and many posters Abstract & registration opening soon Pls share! neuralcomputation.uk
Had a lot of fun thinking about the neural basis of cognitive flexibility with Alex, Kai, and Ali! Excited to see what other work bridging ML and Cognition will come out of the Analytical Connections summer school 🤖🧠
Thrilled to share our NeurIPS Spotlight paper with @japhba* @akaijsa* @SaxeLab @summerfieldlab @Ahummos*! We study how task abstractions emerge in gated linear networks and show that these abstractions support cognitive flexibility. openreview.net/pdf?id=AbTpJl7…
This was an amazingly fun collaboration that began at the AC Summer School @GatsbyUCL, and I can't wait to see where it takes us next! Check out our spotlight paper and poster at NeurIPS. Grainy picture from presenting the first version of this work at @CosyneMeeting attached!
