Supervised learning in multi-layer spiking neural networks
We just put a conference paper version of “SuperSpike”, our work on supervised learning in multi-layer spiking neural networks to the arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.11146. As always I am keen to get your feedback.
The temporal paradox of Hebbian learning and homeostatic plasticity
I am happy that our article on “The temporal paradox of Hebbian learning and homeostatic plasticity” was just published in Current Opinion in Neurobiology (full text). This article essentially concisely presents the main arguments forContinue reading
Role of complex synapses in continual learning
Excited that our preprint “Improved multitask learning through synaptic intelligence” just went life on the arXiv (https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04200). This article, by Ben Poole, Surya and myself, illustrates the benefits of complex synaptic dynamics on continual learningContinue reading
Upcoming talk at COSYNE workshop “Learning in multi-layer spiking neural networks”

Special Issue: “Integrating Hebbian and Homeostatic plasticity”
I recommend taking a look at the special issue on ‘Integrating Hebbian and Homeostatic plasticity’ which was just published in Phil Trans of the Royal Society B. You can find the table of contents atContinue reading
Towards a post-journal world
I just enjoyed reading Romain Brette’s post about how to move towards a better scientific publication system. Maybe you will find it interesting too. My new year resolution : to help move science to the post-journalContinue reading
