    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…

  • 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…

  • Speaker: Mengye Ren – ARNI Continual Learning Working Group Meeting

    CEPSR 620 Schapiro 530 W. 120th St

    Mengye Ren Mengye will also be giving a talk on continual learning at the Zemel group meeting an hour prior (at 2pm) that working group attendees are welcome to join if interested. Here's the abstract of his talk: Today's AI models primarily acquire knowledge through offline, i.i.d. learning. While in-context learning offers some capacity for online…
