Multimodal Scaling Laws for Task & Data-Optimized Models of Visual Cortex

ICML 2026poster

Task-optimized neural networks are the leading in-silico models of sensory cortex, yet the field lacks a unified understanding of which modeling choices drive improved brain alignment. Prior NeuroAI work is fragmented across datasets and modalities, making it difficult to determine robust scaling tr…

From Language to Cognition: How LLMs Outgrow the Human Language Network

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable similarity to neural activity in the human language network. However, the key properties of language underlying this alignment—and how brain-like representations emerge and change across training—remain unclear. We here benchmark 34 training checkpoint

When are Lemons Purple? The Concept Association Bias of Vision-Language Models

EMNLP 2023long main

Large-scale vision-language models such as CLIP have shown impressive performance on zero-shot image classification and image-to-text retrieval. However, such performance does not realize in tasks that require a finer-grained correspondence between vision and language, such as Visual Question Answer…
