The result of environmentally harmful subsidies and taxes: Flight 5€ vs Train 176€. I am privileged/enduring enough to take the train but I know that many are not. Let's start taxing kerosene/airlines properly such that prices create an incentive to make the right choice - now!

Tweeps, I am hiring (big time) - please spread the word. I am looking for three postdocs in the space of neuro-inspired ML and cognitive computational neuroscience to join us at the Institute of Cognitive Science (Uni Osnabrück). Here is why this is a great opportunity: 🧵

Saxelab is hiring it’s first *experimental* postdoc or research scientist! We aim to understand how representations change in multi-layered neural systems, to test links between modern deep learning and biological learning. We’re at #cosyne22 or always happy to chat! 👇

German for beginners: "Und wenn ich mal nicht weiter weiß, gründ' ich einen Arbeitskreis" - "If you are stuck and don't know what to do, establish a new committee". Example: Germany's chancellor Scholz suggesting a "climate club" at G7 summit to lower greenhouse gas emissions

“The Neural Race Reduction: Dynamics of abstraction in gated networks” New paper ICML Conference We derive reductions and occasionally exact explicit solutions for the learning dynamics of a class of nonlinear deep networks in the rich representation learning regime.

Come and join us! If you have questions about what we do, how we do it, how it is to live in the UK ... and how it is to work with Andrew (spoiler: he is a 5 out of 5 stars advisor) feel free to drop me a line

Do you know this feeling right between satisfaction and despair when weeks of work reduce to a couple sentences while writing up a paper?

Excited to share our new paper at #NeurIPS2022! Prior knowledge deeply impacts learning dynamics. We derive exact solutions in deep linear networks for a rich class of initialisations. Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=lJx2v… Poster: Nov 29 11-1 Hall J #511 A 🧵…

So excited and happy that this is finally out: A big chunk of my PhD with loads of fun results! If you happen to be at #NeurIPS2022 make sure to come to Hall J - Poster #511 on Tuesday, where Clémentine Dominé, Phd 🍊 will present our work!

Check out our #ICLR2023 #physics4ml workshop paper with poster tomorrow. The RL Perceptron: A solvable model of high-D policy learning and generalisation with lots of follow up potential! Great fun with Nishil Patel, Sebastian Lee, @stefesseM and Sebastian Goldt

Very excited to have posted a new preprint on my PhD work in the Brody Lab where we show that rats can achieve near-optimal time investment in a confidence-guided waiting task biorxiv.org/content/10.110….
