Our latest studies on the decoding text from brain activity, reviewed by MIT Tech Review @technologyreview.com www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/07/1...

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly. www.online-tribute.com/EleanorMaguire

🚨We're very excited to share our latest study, by Pablo Diego and team: "A polar coordinate system represents syntax in large language models", 📄: Paper arxiv.org/abs/2412.05571 🪧: Poster tomorrow: neurips.cc/virtual/2024... 🧵: Thread 👇

I've been around the block a few times. When deep learning first became hot, many older colleagues bemoaned it as just tinkering + chain rule, and not intellectually satisfying. Then came SSL, equivariance, VAEs, GANs, neural ODEs, transformers, diffusion, etc. The richness was staggering. 🧵👇

Meet OLMo 2, the best fully open language model to date, including a family of 7B and 13B models trained up to 5T tokens. OLMo 2 outperforms other fully open models and competes with open-weight models like Llama 3.1 8B — As always, we released our data, code, recipes and more 🎁

"Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results" w @ken-lxl.bsky.social and braingpt.org. LLMs integrate a noisy yet interrelated scientific literature to forecast outcomes. nature.com/articles/s41... 1/8

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search? I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke. "Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...

Check out this new paper! Led by @mehdiazabou.bsky.social and @evadyer.bsky.social, we show that it is possible to get SOTA brain decoding with transfer across individuals and tasks! The key is a clever way to tokenize spiking data for transformers. #neuroskyence #brain #neurotech
