We are hiring a Postdoc in Computational Neuroscience and ML at the University of Tübingen. Work with me and Georg @GMartius on expressive neurons, recurrent networks, and neuro-inspired AI for RL and robotics.

1) I'm excited to present "Scaling Laws and Tradeoffs in Recurrent Network of Expressive Neurons" 🎉, where we question the optimality of simple neurons for network performance, and capture scaling behaviours using a minimal information theoretic model: arXiv.org/abs/2605.12049

How to better represent 3D rotations? It was a very fun project that involved a lot of learning for me. Now accepted to #ICML2024 . Congratulations to the whole team!
21 Apr 2024
Training neural networks on 3D rotations feels at times like alchemy. Which rotation representation should we use? How critical is the choice of loss? Our recent preprint looks at these questions with clear visuals and simple math. Check out 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2404.11735

In case you were just shy to ask - I am happy to welcome MSC-applicants and support applications centered on relevant topics (self-organization in neuronal networks, E/I balance in recurrent networks, plasticity, criticality, network dynamics (and more)...)

Exited to give a talk at #Cosyne2024 about our recent work on how different learning curricula give rise to distinct mechanisms for performing long-memory tasks.
If you’re interested drop by session 8 on Saturday.

Thrilled to share our #ICLR2024 paper (co-led w/ @sinak12345 and great collaboration w/@m_giannakakis @schaefertim1 @GMartius @SelfOrgAnna).
We show that mechanisms of generating long timescales for memory tasks depend on how RNNs learn the task.

Very impressive joint investigation by @meduza_en and @mediazona_en on MALE excess mortality in Russia during the war:

Spoiler: ~25K in 2022, ~50K until now.
Here is the little part that I did, based on the Rosstat data. [1/5]

1) We present our Expressive Leaky Memory (ELM) neuron 🧠, which can capture detailed cortical neuron I/O with few thousand params (1000x improv 🤯) but can also solve complex long-range tasks such as Pathfinder-X (16k context len 🍀)!

What approach can explain the link between the brain and behavior? Shall we focus on neural circuits or manifolds? With @chrismlangdon & @MGENK, we provide a unifying perspective on manifolds and circuits, just out in @NatRevNeurosci: nature.com/articles/s41583-0…. #tweeprint 👇
