Benchmarking Out-of-Distribution Generalization Capabilities of DNN-based Encoding Models for the Ventral Visual Cortex.

NeurIPS 2024poster

We characterized the generalization capabilities of deep neural network encoding models when predicting neuronal responses from the visual cortex to flashed images. We collected MacaqueITBench, a large-scale dataset of neuronal population responses from the macaque inferior temporal (IT) cortex to o…

Biologically-Plausible Learning Algorithms Can Scale to Large Datasets

ICLR 2019poster

The backpropagation (BP) algorithm is often thought to be biologically implausible in the brain. One of the main reasons is that BP requires symmetric weight matrices in the feedforward and feedback pathways. To address this “weight transport problem” (Grossberg, 1987), two biologically-plausible al…
