Title: Discovering Symbolic Cognitive Models from Human and Animal Behavior with CogFunSearch Abstract: A key goal of cognitive science is to discover mathematical models that describe how the brain implements cognitive processes. These models often take the form of short computer programs, and constructing them typically requires a great deal of human effort and ingenuity. In this…

Title: Brain-like learning with exponentiated gradients and Learning to live with Dale’s principle: ANNs with separate excitatory and inhibitory units Meeting Summary: Our focus will be on answering the following question, which may be a focus for the next few meetings: To what degree are different learning algorithms entangled with a particular neural architecture? Can…
