New preprint from the lab! 🚀 Bariscan Kurtkaya, Fatih Dinc & coauthors explore how AI models remember by training 35,000+ RNNs to store numerical values for variable periods of time🧠 They show how learning rate & timing shape memory —offering insights for both AI & neuroscience! 👇

Enjoying and learning a lot from this piece! I don’t know if the best reading choice for a week of holiday 🤣🤯 but 100% recommended if you are like me still getting your head around TDL/GDL. @mathildepapillon.bsky.social and co-authors 🙌👏 arxiv.org/pdf/2407.09468

Glad you're enjoying it!

...and the other shoe drops

Thanks for hosting this Mathilde!

🤖 New Talk: Geometric Intelligence in Minds & Machines 🧠 Available on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RtH... @louisacornelis.bsky.social & I opened the 2025 @neurreps.bsky.social Global Speaker Series ! Thanks @mathildepapillon.bsky.social Chase VDG @btolooshams.bsky.social for hosting!

Despite rapid advancements in AI and biomedical research, data that includes phenotypes relevant to women’s health is scarce, contributing to algorithmic bias and limiting breakthroughs in healthcare. With the @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social and @cziscience.bsky.social , we change the status-quo!

Hello, world. We’ve made our way to the bright side. 🦋 Let’s be friends?

CZI 🤝 WBHI @cziscience.bsky.social

We are thrilled to pursue a second partnership between CZI + WBHI 💪🏽👇🏼 🧠 Let’s do good things. @cziscience.bsky.social @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social

Join the WBHI seminar on Monday 2/10! Dr. Russ Poldrack (@russpoldrack.bsky.social), Albert Ray Lang Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, will discuss the power of open science in advancing women’s brain health. Join us for his talk, Leveraging Open Science for Women's Brain Health👇

Your phone’s facial recognition, the internet, and futuristic LEDs - what do they all have in common? Light! Santa Barbara folks📢: Please join us Tuesday Feb. 18th at 6pm, at Brass Bear Brewing in downtown SB for Roark Chao's talk on using metasurfaces to control light⚡️🔦

Let's leverage AI to advance womens' brain health! Congratulations @geometric-intel.bsky.social @ninamiolane.bsky.social @susanacarmona.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @cziscience.bsky.social @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social for this incredibly impactful project!

The Global Maternal Brain Project has launched! Bowers WBHI has teamed up with @cziscience.bsky.social to drive discovery for women’s health.

No se me ocurre mejor manera de estrenar el 2025. Deseando trabajar con este equipazo y aprender de él. @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @ninamiolane.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social @neuromaternal.bsky.social @dmartindeblas.bsky.social Gracias @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social

Math friends! I am at JMM in Seattle all week, feel free to reach out🍩 To learn more about Topological Deep Learning, join me in two talks! - room 607 at 9:30am today in the Special Session on Topological Machine Learning in - or room 613 tomorrow at 3:30pm

Thrilled to see our #WiDSDatathon 2025 challenge live! 🎉 Goal: Predict ADHD via fMRI while addressing sex differences. 🧠✨ Open to all levels on Kaggle: let's dive in! lnkd.in/gXRJrp-S @kaggle.com @cornelluniversity.bsky.social @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social

What a start to 2025!🎉 Our lab is honored to receive $1M from @cziscience.bsky.social @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social to study how motherhood shapes the brain, focusing on maternal mental health. @ninamiolane.bsky.social @susanacarmona.bsky.social @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social

Happy New Year🎉 Thrilled to start 2025 with $1M from @cziscience.bsky.social @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social to study the maternal brain using AI! Grateful for the chance to advance science for mothers worldwide 🧠 @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @susanacarmona.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social

It's December in Santa Barbara... which means it's the best time for a lab beach volleyball tournament!🏐 With burritos of course🌯

Thank you CohereForAI @cohere.com for having me! Always so fulfilling to witness the growing excitement around geometry/topology/algebra in machine learning🤩 For anyone who is interested and missed our convo last Thursday, check out the recording here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3fe...

I loved this session with @mathildepapillon.bsky.social. Here it's the YouTube recording: youtu.be/g3fecArn-2A.

Excited to talk with the community about what we've been working on! Co-founding @newtheory.ai with @colin-r-odonnell.bsky.social to build new foundational architectures for intelligence. Come join us at NeurIPS in Vancouver this week for our soft-launch event 🎊🥂 partiful.com/e/rgVdt2XkzZ...

Big ideas in AI need bold foundations.🚀 @newtheory.ai is rethinking what’s possible with intelligence! Catch the vision, meet the team, and be part of the revolution. Join launch at #NeurIPS this week🤯 @christian-shewmake.bsky.social @colin-r-odonnell.bsky.social

My paper on hierarchical plans is out in Cognition!🎉 tldr: We ask participants to generate hierarchical plans in a programming game. People prefer to reuse beyond what standard accounts predict, which we formalize as induction of a grammar over actions. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kBQr2Hx2x...

Fun collaboration on program induction and hierarchical planning led by @cgcorrea.bsky.social in @cocoscilab.bsky.social now out in Cognition!

May have shared this before elsewhere. But these are good -- are based off Nathan Carter's 'Visual Group Theory', and more or less cover the entire book: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I am giving a talk on "Sparse autoencoders for gaining mechanistic interpretability of neural signals" this Friday at the Catelch Chen Institute for Neuroscience. This is part of the workshop on AI for Neuro: How modern AI technologies enable advances in Neuroscience.

The cerebral pathobiome... www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

A differential path towards AI safety, leveraging a new era of large-scale neuroscience research. New white paper from @patrickmineault.bsky.social and the Amaranth Foundation, with contributions from Enigma.

This should be fun! I'll be sharing our recent literature review on all things geometric/topological/algebraic ML✨🍩 With @naturecomputes.bsky.social Johan Mathe, D. Buracas, H. Lillemark, C. Shewmake, @abbybertics.bsky.social , X. Pennec, and @ninamiolane.bsky.social
