Productive day! Reviewed a paper, finalized a paper, prepared a poster, printed a poster, booked trips for two meetings. I guess I'm all set to celebrate Halloween now🎃

Nice list! Looking forward to exploring it

I really miss the times when ICML Conference rebuttals were limited to one page, and the reviewers' requests had to be scaled accordingly. The rebuttal period has started and many discussions are longer than papers🙃

What a nice summary, thanks for putting it together for those of us who wasn’t at the meeting!

Excited to see this work published & highly recommend checking it out!

Exciting week for the Alex Koulakov 's group! Two papers accepted on long-haul projects; three more conference papers accepted on recent work; final models submitted on an ML challenge! Congratulations to the team & collaborators; more updates coming shortly!

Had an absolute pleasure reviewing for AAAI AAAI2025 conference. Awesome submissions, quality writing, thoughtful research. Bidding and reviewing were a breeze!

We started this project when AI (or we?..) was not that sassy! Fast forward, and here we are at the conference on Neuroscience & AI. Time flies fast, and we barely have time to change poster titles! But we were quick enough to have a paper on it published! proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/pa…

Paper Alert: A new theoretical framework for olfaction. Joint work with Hamza Giaffar, Sergey Shuvaev, and Alex Koulakov journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Using LLMs to help with the writing is great, but you may want to edit their output - for its sanity. The number of the AISTATS Conference abstracts saying 'delve' - which I've automatically bid on as a strong negative - was sadly overwhelming.

Animals are born with innate abilities, such as spiders spinning webs. But where do these abilities come from? CSHL’s Tony Zador & Alexei Koulakov propose AI that could solve the mystery. cshl.edu/the-next-evolu…

After nearly a decade at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, it’s time for my next chapter. This place has been more than just a workplace—it’s been a home for curiosity, collaboration, and lifelong friendships. To everyone at CSHL—thank you. Looking forward to staying connected!

Now, exciting news! I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Penn as a postdoc! In this role, I’ll be working with two incredible teams led by Bijan Pesaran and Eva Dyer. Together, we will bridge neuroscience and AI to develop foundation models of neural activity and behavior!

Had a great experience at the 1st workshop last year. Highly recommend!

How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask Eva Dyer and Blake Richards Blake Richards in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series. thetransmitter.org/neuroai/accept…

Happy to share that I've received AISTATS Conference Best Reviewer award! Excited to be helpful to the community

Dear NeurIPS Conference, would you please return search to bidding? Currently, I (we all - ?) get flooded with tons of poorly-matched papers from big umbrella areas of main expertise while better-matched niched papers can never be found, making all bids inevitably misplaced
