Title: Searching for symmetries in connectome data

Abstract: I will talk about work with Haozhe Shan on identifying structure in connectome data that suggests a cell type encodes one or a handful of variables, like heading direction or retinotopy. We are framing the problem as learning a graph embedding, but I will also mention other things we have considered which, at least for me, were educational. The project is at an early stage, so we would welcome suggestions and ideas.
