Please RT — We have open PostDoc, PhD and RA positions in Computational Neuroscience at UCLA! Interested in developing theories and models on neural computations, coding, and dynamics in a highly collaborative environment? Apply to join us! For details: dipoppalab.com/join-us

Computation at the molecular level is energetically costly. Our paper just out in PRE journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1… shows how mesoscopic equivalents of recurrent neural networks trade off performance and dissipation when trained on supervised tasks. Short thread below.

Come to Trieste for a workshop on Theoretical Neuroscience at ICTP, organized with Francesca Mastrogiuseppe, Agostina Palmigiano and Sebastian Goldt. We have fantastic speakers. The sea is not terrible either (although it's not really like Salento). Apply here: indico.ictp.it/event/10481/

Come to (the other branch of) Lake of Como for a summer school on Stat Mech/ML/Neuroscience. For applications:

Let's get started! Alessandro Ingrosso Alessandro Ingrosso from ICTP ICTP opens the fourth day of our ECT*_Trento workshop! ectstar.eu/workshops/4029…

AI & Stat Mech in South Italy. From a vision of Federica Gerace Federica to reality in Roccella Ionica next September. Deadline: April 30th. Registration is free. For applications: sites.google.com/view/rockin-ai…

The ECT*_Trento workshop "Bridging scales: At the crossroads among renormalisation group, multi-scale modelling, and deep learning" came to an end! Many thanks to all participants, who gave amazing talks and fostered cross-talk and interactions among such diverse fields! 🥳🥳🥳

Back from this workshop, wonderfully organized by F. Mastrogiuseppe, Agostina Palmigiano, Alessandro Ingrosso & Sebastian Goldt-thank you! Long 90-mins (chalk) talks powered some of the most meaningful scientific exchanges I've ever had. I'm hoping to further contribute to this community later!

I'll be leaving ICTP in September to start as Assistant Professor at Donders Institute, Radboud University @[email protected] in Nijmegen. Students interested in pursuing a PhD at the border of Machine Learning, Neuroscience and Statistical Mechanics, don't hesitate to contact me.

#RockinAI #Roccella Day 4 invited speakers: Alessandro Laio, Sebastian Goldt, Pietro Rotondo, Alessandro Ingrosso
