My lab has been working on comparing neural representations for the past few years - methods like RSA, CKA, CCA, Procrustes distance

We are often asked: What do these things tell us about the system's function? How do they relate to decoding?

Our new paper has some answers arxiv.org/abs/2411.08197

A fun thesis experiment: ResNet, DETR, and CLIP tackle Saint-Bernards. 🐶
ResNet focused on **fur** patterns, DETR too but also use **paws** (possibly because it helps define bounding boxes), and CLIP **head** concept oddly included human heads — language shaping learned concepts?

This study shows that spike sequences carry information beyond what rates and latency to first spike do:

My reactions:

1) Cool to see this in humans.
2) Are people still surprised that spike times carry information beyond rates/first-spike latency?!?!?!

The temporal order of neuronal firing within bursts of population spiking in the human anterior temporal lobe is dependent on the category as well as the identity of the individual stimulus, and this ...

We've been holding a weekly Computer Vision & Machine Learning reading group at Janelia since 2014, and we started a blog about some of the papers we're reading and recommend. Here's our first post about FourCastNet, an ML algorithm for weather forecasting

My favorite slides -- as someone doing ML with an academic lab, it is pretty mind-boggling how huge spending is. It puts HHMI's $500M / 10 years commitment to AI funding in perspective...
