📆Save the date: new lecture series

[1/4] This Wednesday, October 29 at 1 p.m., we are launching a new, hybrid series of guest talks organized the Center of Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience (CAIAN) in Bonn.

📢📄New preprint: 94 empirical benchmarks for associative learning models.

A consortium of 21 learning experts surveyed the literature and expert community for robust empirical phenomena, which we graded by reproducibility and generality.

📢Publishing alert: New theory paper out on experiment-based calibration: formal model, relation to criterion validity, role of confounds, and data-generation model.
