The new NSF AI Institute for Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ARNI) seeks Postdoctoral Research Fellows, starting Summer or Fall 2023. Fellows will be based at Columbia U, NYC, but can work with ARNI researchers at multiple institutions.

Omw to Trømso for the @Noradotai annual conference and their first ever #NeuroAI workshop. Who else going to be there?

The #NeuroAI Committee at UCL is excited to invite you to our very first tutorial/hackathon, which will be held on Monday, May 22nd, from 10am to 6pm at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (@SWC_Neuro) and focus on @DeepLabCut. Details and registration: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/research/domains/events/2023/may/deeplabcut-neuroai-hackathon

Been thinking a lot about memory and #transformers. The difference between GPT-N and GPT-N+1 is the size of the context window. In vanilla transformers, the memory window is just Atkinson & Shiffrin 68, but instead of 7\pm2, many slots. Longest context goes up linearly with number of slots. Resources go up exponentially with number of slots. So you need a gigantic computer running to even implement the model. Can we do better with ideas from #neuroscience #NeuroAI ?

Hmm... If only there were a way to build a memory that extends farther into the past using way less compute...

✨🤗New review piece w/Markus Frey @cyhsm and Alexander Mathis about a great #NeuroAI piece that appeared in Neuron last year @CurrentBiology ⬇️

NeuroAI: If grid cells are the answer, is path integration the question?

Awesome work from the supremely talented @CYHSM a deep learning version of the classic Four Mountains task > new benchmark for scene perception and segmentation > plus brain inspired network that is SOTA on segmentation. Living the #NeuroAI dream! https://twitter.com/CYHSM/status/1636031957464121344

This will be a very interesting talk today at 2pm UK time on the cognition and evolution of spatial planning:

"Does terrestriality advantage planning in vertebrates?"

Any #RSS feed recommendations?
Looking mostly for interesting #FOSS and #openscience headlines, #NeuroAI, maybe some general tech and #Python news if it's well curated.

#introduction : I am a #neuroscientist studying #3dvision in freely moving humans (lots of 3D researchers study static humans or freely moving rats). I am excited by the #cerebellum (which is computionally huge but hard to study electrophysiologically), less so by the #hippocampus (which has been studied in immense detail but may, in the end, have a more minor computational role). I follow #NeuroAI as #machinelearning and #reinforcementlearning may solve the brain, en passant, before we do.

You can experiment with our code:

And read our pre-print here:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.23.521749v1

We expect this work to increase the translational impact of research on artificial vision for the blind.

Thanks for reading!!! #NeuroAI #neuroscience
