Proud to announce that in Sept I'll start as Assistant Professor at @chalmersuniv! Very grateful for my time @GatsbyUCL in @SaxeLab. Exciting times ahead! If you are interested in the core principles of AI and bias in ML systems, keep an eye out for PhD/postdoc openings!
Animals can learn to use all kinds of brain-computer interfaces, from controlling single neurons to large populations of neurons in motor ctx. How do they do this? Thrilled to be finally sharing our research on this question, now up on biorxiv! 🧵
In-context learning (ICL) circuits emerge in a phase change... Excited for our new work "What needs to go right for an induction head (IH)?" We present "clamping", a method to causally intervene on dynamics, and use it to shed light on IH diversity + formation. Read on 🔎⏬
2 postdoc positions in my lab @ King's College London @dev_neuro. Please apply if you'd like to understand neural circuits of cognition in mice, using 2p, 3p imaging, holographic optostim, flexible behaviour & more! Please RT! Links kcl.ac.uk/jobs/087206-re… khanlab.net
Excited that our new position piece is out! In this article, @summerfieldlab and I review three recent advances in using deep RL to model cognitive flexibility, a hallmark of human cognition: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (1/4)

📣 Join us in Analytical Connectionism our summer school on the foundations of higher-level cognition. Join experts from neuroscience, psychology & ML for lectures, tutorials, and a hackathon! Aug 12-23, 2024 in NYC @FlatironInst @nyuniversity [events.simonsfoundation.org/event/e070287e…] 🐭🤖
Join us in this marvelous place to talk, learn, work and explore. Deadline 31 March 2024. compneuronrsn.org
New preprint! @tafazolisina shows the brain builds complex tasks by compositionally combining simpler sub-task representations. By dynamically reusing neural subspaces for sensory inputs and motor actions, the brain can flexibly perform multiple tasks. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I’m really excited to see the NeuralPlayground team has finally put out a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…! My students in @raillabwits and @PrimeLabWits have already been making use of the library (github.com/SainsburyWellc…) and feeling the impact both for teaching and research.

Booked a conference hotel. Travel agency @UniofOxford quoted 11% more than if I booked it myself. Decided to do that anyway but need to show University that travel agency quote was higher. Madness! Let's increase admin burden and ensure that we and our funders get screwed over.

Reviewers / meta reviewers: this is an example of what NOT to do. Isolating the simplest possible failure modes of complex models is a worthwhile contribution - as is (in other cases) deriving the simplest possible model of a phenomenon that makes testable predictions.
Here is a meta-review we got for third submission of a paper that aims to study text-understanding capacities of LLMs, focusing on very simple, if not trivial, cases where they systematically fail. We see every stated weakness as a strength, and they are all by design.
Research in probably the most important feature in transformers (and LLMs) -- how in context learning emerges as we scale up.
In-context learning (ICL) circuits emerge in a phase change... Excited for our new work "What needs to go right for an induction head (IH)?" We present "clamping", a method to causally intervene on dynamics, and use it to shed light on IH diversity + formation. Read on 🔎⏬
