Thrilled to share our NeurIPS Spotlight paper with @japhba* @akaijsa* @SaxeLab @summerfieldlab @Ahummos*! We study how task abstractions emerge in gated linear networks and show that these abstractions support cognitive flexibility. https://t.co/OHlg5hnQVM

A more biological set up for feedback connectivity in gradient-based learning:

How can we efficiently find task representations online that work well for the ongoing task while leveraging relations with other tasks? Our simulations show that episodic memory can help! URL: https://t.co/5QmakrVJDs Here’s a summary: (1/n)

Increasingly I feel that academics self-organise themselves not primarily by 'topic of interest' but rather 'epistemology'. Different fields and subfields have different assumptions about what is useful knowledge and how it is acquired 1/2

What happens when we train the largest vision-language model and add in robot experiences? The result is PaLM-E 🌴🤖, a 562-billion parameter, general-purpose, embodied visual-language generalist - across robotics, vision, and language. Website: https://t.co/ouMkeQiGr5

🚨 BIG DATA RELEASE 🚨 We are beyond excited to announce the release of our Brain Wide Map of neural activity during decision making! It consists of 547 Neuropixel recordings of 32784 neurons across 194 regions of the mouse brain 🐭🧠 (1/7)

We heart you. ♥️

A historic day. After the darkness, division and hate of the past four years, America has spoken and rejected more of the same. Congratulations to my good friend President-Elect @JoeBiden. Today we go forward in hope & progress.
