From Synapses to Dynamics: Obtaining Function from Structure in a Connectome Constrained Model of the Head Direction Circuit

NeurIPS 2025poster

How precisely does circuit wiring specify function? This fundamental question is particularly relevant for modern neuroscience, as large-scale electron microscopy now enables the reconstruction of neural circuits at single-synapse resolution across many organisms. To interpret circuit function from…

Uncovering Latent Memories in Large Language Models

ICLR 2025poster

Frontier AI systems are making transformative impacts across society, but such benefits are not without costs: models trained on web-scale datasets containing personal and private data raise profound concerns about data privacy and security. Language models are trained on extensive corpora including…

Representation learning for improved interpretability and classification accuracy of clinical factors from EEG

ICLR 2021poster

Despite extensive standardization, diagnostic interviews for mental health disorders encompass substantial subjective judgment. Previous studies have demonstrated that EEG-based neural measures can function as reliable objective correlates of depression, or even predictors of depression and its cour…

Unsupervised Model Selection for Variational Disentangled Representation Learning

ICLR 2020poster

Disentangled representations have recently been shown to improve fairness, data efficiency and generalisation in simple supervised and reinforcement learning tasks. To extend the benefits of disentangled representations to more complex domains and practical applications, it is important to enable hy…
