🥳 I am incredibly humbled and grateful to share that our work, "Aligning machine and human visual representations across abstraction levels," has been published today in @nature.com ⬇️
What aspects of human knowledge do vision models like CLIP fail to capture, and how can we improve them? We suggest models miss key global organization; aligning them makes them more robust. Check out LukasMuttenthaler's work, finally out (in Nature!?) www.nature.com/articles/s41... + our blog! 1/3

How well do classifiers trained on visual activity actually transfer to non-visual reactivation?
#Decoding studies often rely on training in one (visual) condition and applying it to another (e.g. rest-reactivation). However: How well does this work? Show us what makes it work and win up to 1000$!

Weaker brain wiring constraints increase multifinality in network outcomes. Specifically, when you weaken the drive to connect neighbours you get more topologically dissimilar networks. Whereas when you weaken the distance penalty, you get connections forming in different places.

How did we test this? Starting with a neonatal seed network, we simulated the formation of new connections using a computational model. We varied the modelling constraints, and tested whether systematic changes in those constraints shift the properties of the resulting networks
