- Crowdsourcing this: what are the best examples of scaling laws in foundation models for neuroscience? My top 3 examples: Ctrl+Labs, Sato et al., Mineault et al. @colehurwitz.bsky.social , @mehdiazabou.bsky.social , @nandahkrishna.bsky.social , @averyryoo.bsky.social, @tyrellturing.bsky.social ?
- In Lurz et al., ICLR 2021 we did quite some analysis on scaling and generalization across animals in the context of visual response prediction (incl. behavioral modulation) with @sinzlab.bsky.social and @andreastolias.bsky.social: openreview.net/forum?id=Tp7...
- Thanks, we re-use some of this data in the third meta-plot above. Interestingly, scaling curves match qualitatively and relatively well across different groups. See section 1 where we derive a functional form for the scaling laws that work across sims and Lurz et al. arxiv.org/abs/2411.18526

- I am very proud to announce that my PhD paper finally came out in Cell! In this *very* collaborative study, we develop and release a deep-learning approach to predict neuron type identity from their electrical signature. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... 1/16 🧵

- Hallo Bluesky-Community! Ab heute berichten wir hier über die Uni Göttingen und freuen uns auf den Austausch. Wer ist auch noch hier? Hello to everyone on Bluesky! You’ll find the University of Göttingen’s news here. We’re looking forward to the exchange! Who else is here?
