ARNI Emerging Researchers Talk Series #1: Rahul Ramesh
ARNI Emerging Researchers Talk Series #1: Rahul Ramesh
Title: Principles of Learning from Multiple Tasks Abstract: Deep networks are increasingly trained on data from multiple tasks with the goal of sharing synergistic information across related tasks. A language model, for example, is trained on 10 trillion tokens on tasks ranging from programming, finance, trivia to translation and a vision model is trained on over a billion…

ARNI Continual Learning Working Group Guest Speaker: Christopher A. Baldassano
ARNI Continual Learning Working Group Guest Speaker: Christopher A. Baldassano
Speaker: Christopher A. Baldassano Title: Remembering events using schematic knowledge Abstract: Our everyday experiences consist of familiar sequences of events in familiar contexts, and we use our knowledge of the past to understand and remember the present. Research in my lab combines behavioral, eye-tracking, and neuroimaging methods to investigate how prior knowledge of temporal and spatial structure impacts…

Title: How the human brain thinks about itself Abstract: The human brain has a remarkable ability to monitor and evaluate its own mental states, known as metacognition. Metacognition is crucial to success, enabling us to recognise gaps in our knowledge and collaborate effectively. Problems with metacognition are linked to maladaptive behaviours, such as endorsing false…

Title: Quantifying individuality in neural circuit representations Abstract: Signatures of neural computation are thought to be reflected in the coordinated activity of large neural populations. Neuroscience is now flush with measurements of these activity patterns in humans, animal subjects, and large-scale artificial network models. In this talk, I will address an extensively studied, yet unresolved, question: How should we quantify the extent to which…

Title: Reimagining the biology of memory Abstract: Over the last half century, there has been a remarkable convergence on the idea that memories are stored at synapses. I will argue that this is only part of the story. A more complete story compels us to recognize the radical ubiquity of memory in living systems,…

ARNI Emerging Researchers Talk Series #2: Itzel Olivos-Castillo
Title: Resource-Efficient Control in Brains and Machines Abstract: The brain can turn noisy stimuli into rational behaviors that address a wide variety of tasks using limited experience, relying on limited processing capacity, and consuming less energy than a lightbulb. What makes the brain such an efficient control system? Cognitive studies have identified meta-reasoning, the ability…

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