ARNI Continual Learning Working Group Spring Opening Meeting

CEPSR 620 Schapiro 530 W. 120th St

From: Tom Zollo In Y2, the aim is to use this working group as a launchpad for a larger ARNI continual learning project (which we hope to spawn multiple subprojects and papers).  We hope for this group to tackle issues that are relevant to both modern practitioners and the ARNI mission of connecting artificial and natural intelligence.…

ARNI WG Multi-resource-cost optimization of neural network models: Paul Schrater

Zuckerman Institute - L3-079 3227 Broadway, New York, NY, United States

Title: Control when confidence is costly Abstract: We develop a version of stochastic control that accounts for computational costs of inference. Past studies identified efficient coding without control, or efficient control that neglects the cost of synthesizing information. Here we combine these concepts into a framework where agents rationally approximate inference for efficient control. Specifically,…

ARNI Biological Learning Working Group

Virtual

Ken Miller will be talking about E/I networks & balanced networks and some computational/functional implications, there’s two papers I’d suggest reading:on balanced amplification: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627309001287 review of loosely and tightly balanced networks: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627321005754.  Meeting Link: meet.google.com/nnq-csiy-yah

ARNI Frontier Models for Neuroscience and Behavior Working Group (Priorly: Animal Behavior)

Zuckerman Institute - L3-079 3227 Broadway, New York, NY, United States

Description: Advances in neurotechnology and behavioral tracking have enabled the collection of large-scale neural and behavioral datasets, offering new opportunities to study brain function in complex settings. However, researchers face significant challenges in integrating and analyzing data across different brain regions, individuals, and behavioral contexts. Inspired by recent successes in large-scale “foundation” models in natural language…
