Introducing #SLOD (preprint): a new #NeuroAI framework w/ @drbreaky.bsky.social

6/12 The clone-structured cognitive graph (CSCG) framework pioneered by @dileeplearning.bsky.social offers a natural computational mapping for how latent diffusion could be implemented biologically along hippocampal circuitry.

TLDR: It was fun and the process felt 'magical' at times. If you have lots of small project ideas you want to prototype, vibe-coding is a fun way to do that as long as you are willing to settle for 'good enough'.

Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇

Thank you! Looks like I was able to fix it by adding one more rule to the domain forwarding setup at squarespace.

Hmmm….i need to vibe fix this….tomorrow!

12 leading neuroscientists tackle a big question: Will we ever understand the brain?

Their reflections span philosophy, complexity, and the limits of scientific explanation.

Ohh ok I realize that @tyrellturing.bsky.social mentioned evolution. Fine then. But then which neuroscientist believes this?

Hmm…I don’t think it’s impossible.

Evolution could create structures in the brain that are in correspondence with structure in the world.

Clone-structured graph representations enable flexible learning and vicarious evaluation of cognitive maps - Nature Communications Higher-order sequence learning using a structured graph representation - clone-structured cognitive graphs (CSCG) – can explain how the hippocampus learns cognitive maps.

Good conclusion :-).

somehow chatGPT understand my opinion about successor representations? 4/

I didn't mention partial observability specifically, so it is impressive that this was picked up. Looks like we did something right in our CSCG paper in making this explicit? 3/

It is quite impressive that chatGPT picked up these nuances, picks up a relevant quote from the paper and even emphasizes portions of the response. 2/

This paper turned up on a feed, I was intrigued by it and started reading...

..but then I was quite baffled because our CSCG work seem to have tackled many of these problems in a more general setting and it's not even mentioned!

So I asked ChatGPT... ...I'm impressed by the answer1. 1/🧵

Graph schemas as abstractions for transfer learning, inference, and planning Transferring latent structure from one environment or problem to another is a mechanism by which humans and animals generalize with very little data. Inspired by cognitive and neurobiological insights...

Some of our work could explain this kind of latent graph learning and schema-like abstraction. 2/

Wow, very cool to see this work from Alla Karpova's lab. She had shown me the results when I visited @hhmijanelia.bsky.social and I was blown away.
