Starting now!

Turns out that serious mathematicians work with intuitions and embodied sensations. Which isn't really surprising, but far from the accepted mode of communication, I find. Super poignant and strong argument for nurturing more "handwavy" explanations and intuitions

The Pioneer Centre for AI invites applications for 9 PhD Positions for different projects at the Centre across our collaboratories and partner universities. 🗓 Application deadline is 22 March and 1 April, 2024. For more information: aicentre.dk/phd-openings

Next-level code golfing ⛳️

I'm definitely biased... But NICE is the most exciting week of neuromorphic computing of the year. Come join us!

Thrilled to start at SLAC where I'll be studying #neuromorphic computational abstractions with Sadas Shankar. A huge thanks to NeuroPAC for funding this work 🎉 Are you in the area and have time to chat? Hit me up!

1/6 Surrogate gradients (SGs) are empirically successful at training spiking neural networks (SNNs). But why do they work so well, and what is their theoretical basis? In our new preprint led by Julia Gygax, we provide the answers: arxiv.org/abs/2404.14964

ELLIS Reading Groups are initiated and organized by #ELLISPhD students and postdocs. Join the next session of the #Mathematics of #DeepLearning group on 30 May! 👇👇Elise AI

🚨 New paper alert! Have you ever suspected that spikes, Dale's law, and E/I balance might be more than just biological constraints, but rather fundamental to how brains compute? Check out my latest work with Christian Machens ChampalimaudResearch: tinyurl.com/mpwkkubd 🧵 (1/5)

Surya Ganguli Stanislav Fort Kording Lab 🦖 Blake Richards Friedemann Zenke Aran Nayebi This depends on what "biologically plausible" means. I like to read about grad approx that relate to measured / measurable plasiticity mechanisms.
