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). …

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…

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. …
