  • Speaker: Katherine Xu – Language and Vision Working Group

    Virtual

    Title: Are Vision-Language Models Checking or Looking? Abstract: Today’s AI vision systems are trained on vast amounts of data, yet it remains unclear whether they simply retrieve memorized answers or actively…

  • Lecture Series in AI: Richard Zemel

    Davis Auditorium 530 W 120th St, New York, NY 10027, New York, NY

    General website Title: Integrating Past and Present in Continual Learning Abstract: Continual learning aims to bridge the gap between typical human and machine-learning environments. The continual setting does not have separate training and testing phases, and instead models are evaluated online while learning novel concepts and tasks. The most capable current AI systems struggle to…

  • Speaker Josue Ortega Caro: ARNI Frontier Models for Neuroscience and Behavior Working Group

    Virtual

    Time: 30th March. 3pm EST Title: Large scale models for spatiotemporal data. Speaker: Josue Ortega Caro https://josueortc.github.io/ Abstract:  Spatiotemporal and multimodal datasets contain structured variability distributed across space, time, and measurement modality, motivating modeling approaches that can learn representations directly from large-scale data. Inspired by video foundational models, we study how the masked autoencoder training objective can…

  • Speaker: Hadi Vafaii ARNI WG Multi-resource-cost optimization of neural network models

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

    Location: ZI L3-079 Time: 1:00pm Title: Metabolic cost of information processing in Poisson variational autoencoders Abstract:Computation in biological systems is fundamentally energy-constrained, yet standard theories of computation treat energy as freely available. Here, we argue that variational free energy minimization under a Poisson assumption offers a principled path toward an energy-aware theory of computation. Our…
