Excited to give a contributed talk today Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience about our new preprint on the role of single-neuron and network timescales in solving tasks with long memory requirements (tweeprint coming soon) arxiv.org/abs/2309.12927 Drop by the last session if you’re interested!

The new book by Jitka Cejkova "R.U.R. and the Vision of Artificial Life" (published by The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social) has been launched. We wish the book and the author to inspire as many people as possible!

Interested in the emergence of slowness and long timescales in RNNs? Check out our #ICLR2024 paper on this topic summarized elegantly in this thread by my co-author Roxana Zeraati! Emergent mechanisms for long timescales depend on training curriculum and affect performance...

🚀 #Hack1robo is approaching!! 🚀 Together with Sina K. and Marko Cvjetko, we propose to explore what happens when you plug music into continuous cellular automata: 🎶+ 🦠 = ? If you're in Bordeaux 15th to 17th November, come explore this topic with us! -6 days to register

Ce dimanche à 15h30 au cœur de Bordeaux venez découvrirla présentation projets du futur en IA, art, neuro et robots ! Le hackathon #hack1robo ouvre ses portes au publi, c’est au @Node, rue des faussets ! @Clement_MF_ IA Univ Bordeaux Université de Bordeaux Bordeaux Neurocampus

we are recruiting interns for a few projects with Pierre-Yves Oudeyer in bordeaux > studying llm-mediated cultural evolution with Eleni Nisioti Jérémy Perez > balancing exploration and exploitation with autotelic rl with Clément ROMAC details and links in 🧵 please share!

Some news: my first paper as a solo-author is finally out in Physical Review Letters! 🥳🎉 Here I introduce a novel mathematical formulation to deal with systems of coupled oscillators which are subject to noise, bringing a lot of new physics to the table! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
