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. openreview.net/pdf?id=AbTpJl7…

@LLogiaco @CUAnschutz Congratulations Laureline!! I’m sure you’ll be off to a good start soon!

It's been hard to find the words, but here goes: I have been given the wonderful opportunity to start as an assistant professor @CUAnschutz in July 2025. That also means opportunities for postdocs & grad students interested in models of motor circuits (simonsfoundation.org/people/laureli…).

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: shorturl.at/tT246 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

@MarvinSchmittML @icmlconf Seems like the celebrations are still ongoing…

Happy waiting-for-ICML-reviews day to all who celebrate! @icmlconf #ICML2024

Stop funding research (the way you do) Because it is wasteful, unethical and unscientific A thread (1/16)

@paulg Oh great. This thought will just make things even more awkward now… 🤨

If you're socially awkward, people will mistakenly think you dislike them, and that will make them actually dislike you.

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: palm-e.github.io

🚨 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.

Flatten the curve means you @CAgovernor get us through using healthcare at capacity. ICU beds are empty. #COVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives #Progressives

@CAgovernor we see a lot of hustle on deck, but in reality we’re drifting aimlessly. How will this end?

@josh_tobin_ The best part is how it validates the soul-crushing frustration that comes naturally with deep learning. Thank you!
