A tiny (27M) brain-inspired model trained just on 1000 samples outperforming o3-mini-high on reasoning tasks.

But since task features already constrain the state space, the neural subspaces are not just representing task-specific information, how do we rule out that the subspaces aren't themselves entirely contingent on task constrains and aren't emerging out of the latter in entirety? (2/2)

Goodnight

Some 3 am thoughts:

For a lot of tasks, the number of features to be represented far exceed the possible activity patterns in a neural population.

That's why neural population activity sometimes has subspaces that account for the majority of "task-specific" variance in the dynamics.
(1/2)

We need more computational models, more intensive within subject designs, and more naturalistic tasks to make the modest but important successes of computational cognitive science capable of explaining critical phenomena in clinical, dev and soc psych. This requires new methods training across psych

Nobody's going to play your game if it never exists! The pursuit of perfection is a trap.

okay so when youre not working with a tutorial, is this supposed to take you 4 hours on Unity? Am I doing something wrong?

Unity 6 Day 2 insights:

a) when you make groundcheck objects, always double check where they're placed
b) tilemaps and grids are a good solution to minimize the amount of game objects you have to make
c) layer layer layer

I'm yet to try it out, but I've been recommended "Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R" for mixed effect models, and it's been on my list for a while now.

Aaaand that's #dailyui 002 as well.
I decided to do the cliche minimalism and realized in the process that negotiating elements around space really does give you an incredibly flexible framework. Depending on what you need to evoke, there's so MUCH you can do with this.....

hello #designsky here's my shot at the #dailyui001 challenge.

I am open to feedback and critique

OKAY okay I get it I understand why design components are important

Hello #hci #ai & #cogsci communities! Im currently throwing a very wide net and doing a smol literature dig into the way LLMs are audited, with a specific focus on human-AI teaming in auditing itself, and more participatory approaches as well. Im wondering if ppl here read smth interesting about it

lil yap thread on theoretical differences in neural systems (biological and artificial) translating to cognitive differences, in a purposefully layman tone

Welcome to bluesky! I just joined recently too, hoping to see you around <3

anytime ma'am

Krita is rly fun. I made my pfp on it

oh and also this

oh and also this

when I had parrotOS and popOS I was using krita. It did just about everything I needed it to.
also tried GIMP but it sucked oh god

o yea that sucks for spotify. I'd reassess my relationship but pakistan has less options accessible for alternatives to spotify. thank you for letting me know regardless

dming

also moving from spotify rly? to what? rly hard to imagine why unless somebody jumps ship to apple music

I have a really old no longer updated playlist of mine on spotify that only has older emotionally driven rap, old school + backpack rap era. I can share it in dms if youd like (i don't want my spotify name in public)

and this isnt an exhaustive list theres so so much more and i'm happy 2 rec always

-Pink Matter by Frank Ocean featuring a rap verse from Andre 3k, peak songwriting, nothing else to say here
-North Pole by Injury Reserve: "let the liquor take the kid away like CPS" weew
-Thugz Mansion by Tupac (without the Nas feature) again impeccable story telling

Also some songs because they just vibe with me, no particular order:
-Sandstorm by Mereba and JID, very unique gentle song that's almost not a rap song
-Dangerous by ScHoolboy Q, dark horrifying tune
-Redstripe Rhapsody by LAUSSIE THE CAT is such a strong vibe you can just sit back and loop it

-Ready to Die by B.I.G. it covers a lot and is a work of its time, so not really gentle, but really coherent in a narrative sense, which is always great songwriting inspo
-literally anything by Rapsody
All these ppl albums are usually organized narratively, so i recommend listening them start to end

..Mr Morale on personal healing and negotiating trauma (absolutely must listen from start to end it will make you cry)
-J cole: just to keep it short I think 4 your eyez only is the point where he transitions from identity conflicts/tough guy image to becoming gently grounded in himself, also a must

mm okay i can work with that. I'll give you albums:
-Kendrick Lamar: anything after his first album. GKMC centers on overcoming adolescent vanity while being torn apart by gang violence, TPAB on balancing identifying with your roots vs the vices of fame, DAMN on spirituality while being revered...

what mood are we looking for?

Flow Equivariant Recurrent Neural Networks - Kempner Institute Sequence transformations, like visual motion, dominate the world around us, but are poorly handled by current models. We introduce the first flow equivariant models that respect these motion symmetrie...

New in the #DeeperLearningBlog: #KempnerInstitute research fellow @andykeller.bsky.social introduces the first flow equivariant neural networks, which reflect motion symmetries, greatly enhancing generalization and sequence modeling.

Hey! I live very far away but I'm very interested, also just so I know I'm thinking this through right, will you possibly be looking into building ANN toy models of the MTL and consolidation-relevant areas like hippocampal CA1, 2, and 3?
