When we face something new, we draw on what we’ve learned before to decide what to do next, generalizing from past experiences and spotting similarities. This occurs through a process known as #abstractreasoning. But how do the networks of neurons in our brains work together to give rise to this ability, which we often take for granted? That's what Barrow #EpilepsySurgery Director Andrew Yang, MD, MS, and his collaborators hope to better understand with the support of a new R61 grant from @NIH. The three-year grant will provide $3 million of funding for a multi-institutional study led by @UeliRutishauser, PhD (@CedarsSinai/@Caltech), along with Adam Mamelak, MD; Jie Zheng, PhD (@ucdavis); and @StefanoFusi2, PhD (@Columbia). The team will record the activity of individual neurons through the voluntary participation of patients being treated for their #epilepsy at #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute, Cedars-Sinai, and UC Davis. Study participation occurs while patients are admitted to the epilepsy monitoring units (EMU) for seizure monitoring with #SEEG, which allows their physicians to provide personalized, tailored recommendations for epilepsy surgery. Research with similar recordings has led to many fundamental discoveries of the human brain and mind, which would not be possible without the selfless contributions of participants to further scientific understanding. Barrow is an ideal institution to gather this rare and valuable data. Our Epilepsy Center has received the highest-tier designation from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC) as a Level 4 Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, which recognizes our expertise in providing the highest level of medical and surgical evaluation and treatment for patients with complex epilepsy.

SFI researcher Alessandro Palmarini focuses on tackling the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) challenge, with the goal of creating AI systems capable of abstract reasoning far more efficiently than existing methods. Inspired by François Chollet’s work on measuring intelligence, his earlier work has built upon the DreamCoder program synthesis system, introducing a novel approach called "dream decompiling" to improve library learning in inductive program synthesis. Listen to Palmirini’s interview on @MLStreetTalk highlighting the delicate balance between computational efficiency and data efficiency in AI learning processes. #AI #MachineLearning #AbstractReasoning youtube.com/watch?v=3ZTNps2P…

DeepMind has at least half a dozen prototypes for abstract/symbolic reasoning. What are their approaches? #deepmind #abstractreasoning reddit.com/r/MachineLearning…

An abstract reasoning assessment requires a respondent to think holistically and analyse complex patterns across two dimensions. As such this is considered to be a core ability for strategic thinking. #hr #humanresources #humancapital #talent #assessments #abstractreasoning

This is considered to be the purest form of general mental ability and has consistently been shown to be an excellent predictor of work and academic achievement. #hr #humanresources #humancapital #talent #assessments #abstractreasoning

Abstract Reasoning (also known as Fluid Intelligence) assessments measure the capacity to adapt to and learn from novel situations and experiences. #hr #humanresources #humancapital #talent #assessments #abstractreasoning
