Benchmarking Predictive Coding Networks -- Made Simple

ICLR 2025spotlight

In this work, we tackle the problems of efficiency and scalability for predictive coding networks (PCNs) in machine learning. To do so, we propose a library that focuses on performance and simplicity, and use it to implement a large set of standard benchmarks for the community to use for their expe…

Language-Models-as-a-Service: Overview of a New Paradigm and its Challenges

AAAI 2025technical

Some of the most powerful language models currently are proprietary systems, accessible only via (typically restrictive) web or software programming interfaces. This is the LanguageModels-as-a-Service (LMaaS) paradigm. In contrast with scenarios where full model access is available, as in the case…

Language Models as Science Tutors

ICML 2024poster

NLP has recently made exciting progress toward training language models (LMs) with strong scientific problem-solving skills. However, model development has not focused on real-life use-cases of LMs for science, including applications in education that require processing long scientific documents. To…

GAUCHE: A Library for Gaussian Processes in Chemistry

NeurIPS 2023poster

We introduce GAUCHE, an open-source library for GAUssian processes in CHEmistry. Gaussian processes have long been a cornerstone of probabilistic machine learning, affording particular advantages for uncertainty quantification and Bayesian optimisation. Extending Gaussian processes to molecular repr…

Mathematical Capabilities of ChatGPT

NeurIPS 2023poster

We investigate the mathematical capabilities of two versions of ChatGPT (released 9-January-2023 and 30-January-2023) and of GPT-4 by testing them on publicly available datasets, as well as hand-crafted ones, using a novel evaluation scheme. In contrast to formal mathematics, where large databases o…

Associative Memories via Predictive Coding

NeurIPS 2021poster

Associative memories in the brain receive and store patterns of activity registered by the sensory neurons, and are able to retrieve them when necessary. Due to their importance in human intelligence, computational models of associative memories have been developed for several decades now. In this p…
