Dr. Rachel Lee

the thought experiment i liked asking is "how much and in what conditions would you have to agree to work with elon musk?"
this was in context of deepmind engineers being poached by elon in late 2023.

😍 Bellini !!!

congrats!!!!

very cool! congratulations to @margaretsteiner.bsky.social and team for these very cool results. can't wait to read more!

👋

Very cool! Have you considered it from a semantic development perspective?

🧠 Happy to share our preprint: “The developmental trajectories of generalization and discrimination in reinforcement learning reflect multiple underlying cognitive processes” 👉 osf.io/preprints/ps...
[1/N]🧵

Congratulations to @wchen.bsky.social and @mcai.bsky.social !

Congratulations Mark! So well-deserved.

I'm looking for a postdoc interested in computational cognitive modeling and deep reinforcement learning!

Submit a CV and references here: apply.interfolio.com/150309

Intended starting date is early Fall 2024

Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Congratulations Ben!!! Very well deserved for you and your lab.

Hey folks! New SRO app just dropped! My branch is hiring (Aging and Neurodegeneration) so feel free to reach out with any questions!

Stanford started a pre-doc program and several faculty in psych (incl. myself) are recruiting: iriss.stanford.edu/predoc

Great opportunity to get more research experience before starting a PhD!

App deadline is Feb 29.

Info about my lab's research: cicl.stanford.edu

Please share 🙏

wahoo! excited to read them all.

congrats! so many exciting papers came out this past year for you and your lab!

🧵 1/8 🚨 New #preprint alert! 🚨 This new study by @gershbrain.bsky.social and I is the first to directly test the predictions of our policy compression model, which describes how capacity-limited agents trade reward for simpler policies to reduce cognitive cost psyarxiv.com/rnz72

that's commitment. folks who share your thanksgiving table are lucky 😍

Contexts facilitate dynamic value encoding in the mesolimbic dopamine system https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.05.565687v1 Adaptive behavior in a dynamic environment often requires rapid revaluation of stimuli that deviates

she's gorgeous 😤😤😤 that skin crisp level looks peking duck level good.

Albert Qu in Linda Wilbrecht's lab at UC Berkeley has posted a new preprint on striatal dopamine during learning:

The key takeaway is that a Bayesian reinforcement learning model provided a better match to the data compared to non-Bayesian alternatives.

yay! your art is so beautiful. just wanted to let you know that :D

these are gorgeous! they make me feel fomo for not going to sfn. glad you were able to sell all of them, what a treat they are.

If you know any undergrads who would like to do something very adventurous next summer (experiments on learning in single cell organisms), have them get in touch with me.

I think Jay McClelland was very interested in the cognition of math for a while in the 2010's.

One more week to apply for our joint faculty position in Princeton Neuroscience Institute and Computer Science Dept, in neuroAI and intelligent systems, broadly construed. Do you fit? Yes. But feel free to contact me with q's. puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...

Reminder - it's 80 degrees and clear skies today, November 9th, in Southern California. Oh, and - there's one week left to apply to join us here!

hello bluesky! i'm dr. rachel lee now

i mean what i find funny is that MAGAs are now mad that he's not republican enough bc he's recognizes racism in US (thanks to his adopted black son) and he's supportive of continue funding ukraine.

i love how you say your boss because jon is like a wiki-level worthy professor, but we can now also add "excellent amateur wood worker who has helped repair his trainee's speakers." also because for a moment i was wondering if it would be nathaniel....

I second this. Cuckoo is really excellent and often slept on. An ex had Cuckoo and we loved using it. Also has stainless steel option, cuz Teflon is a PITA.
