How do task dynamics impact learning in networks with internal dynamics?

Excited to share our ICML Oral paper on learning dynamics in linear RNNs!

Learning dynamics in linear recurrent neural networks
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are powerful models used widely in both machine learning and neuroscience to learn tasks with temporal dependencies and to model neural dynamics. However, despite...

Had a really fun time collaborating on this project with a great team. I’ll be at NeurIPs next week to present it, come by and check out our paper for more!
Thrilled to share our NeurIPS Spotlight paper with Jan Bauer*, @aproca.bsky.social*, @saxelab.bsky.social, @summerfieldlab.bsky.social, Ali Hummos*! openreview.net/pdf?id=AbTpJ...

We study how task abstractions emerge in gated linear networks and how they support cognitive flexibility.
