🚨New Preprint!! Thrilled to share with you our latest work: “Mixture of Cognitive Reasoners”, a modular transformer architecture inspired by the brain’s functional networks: language, logic, social reasoning, and world knowledge. 1/ 🧵👇

Check out Badr's work on specializing experts in MoE-style models to individually represent the operation of different brain networks.

I'm really honored by this Quanta article on how we use NeuroAI models to understand the brain, as well as treat it for improved brain health. Thank you Eric James Beyer!

"These are conditions created to kill," says Jonathan Whittall briefing media on #Gaza. “What we are seeing is carnage. It is weaponized hunger. It is forced displacement. It’s a death sentence for people just trying to survive. It appears to be the erasure of Palestinian life.”

NEW PAPER ALERT: Recent studies have shown that LLMs often lack robustness to distribution shifts in their reasoning. Our paper proposes a new method, AbstRaL, to augment LLMs’ reasoning robustness, by promoting their abstract thinking with granular reinforcement learning.

For the love of god, can someone stop Israel from KILLING DOZENS OF PALESTINIANS EVERY SINGLE DAY. Will Western media even cover this??

Can LLMs learn to reason more like humans, deciding when to think hard and when to keep it simple? Inspired by metareasoning in cognitive science, the process of allocating mental effort based on cost-benefit tradeoffs, we introduce a novel Value of Computation reward to train

🗒️Can we meta-learn test-time learning to solve long-context reasoning? Our latest work, PERK, learns to encode long contexts through gradient updates to a memory scratchpad at test time, achieving long-context reasoning robust to complexity and length extrapolation while

Just updated the Egyptians in AI Research website, now featuring 188 incredible researchers! Great to see so many familiar and new faces added to the list. Let’s aim for 200! If you have suggestions for improving the site, I’d love to hear them! Website:

Excited to be talking today at 5:00 PM CEST on Ploutos about our new paper: Mixture of Cognitive Reasoners, focused on building more brain-inspired AI models. Project Page: bkhmsi.github.io/mixture-of-cog… Would love to see you there!

Had a great time talking at the LauzHack Deep Learning Bootcamp about the Mixture of Cognitive Reasoners paper! You can watch the full presentation here: youtu.be/jsNYzUKZtNE
