Paper: Implicit variance regularization in non-contrastive SSL
New paper from the lab accepted at NeurIPS: “Implicit variance regularization in non-contrastive SSL.” In our article, first-authored by Manu and Axel, we add further understanding to how non-contrastive self-supervised learning (SSL) methods avoid collapse.Continue reading
Paper: Latent Predictive Learning
Our paper “The combination of Hebbian and predictive plasticity learns invariant object representations in deep sensory networks” is now published in Nature Neuroscience. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-023-01460-y Sensory networks in our brain represent environmental objects as points onContinue reading
Hebbian plasticity could be the brain’s trick to make self-supervised learning work
Please take a look at our new preprint “The combination of Hebbian and predictive plasticity learns invariant object representations in deep sensory networks.” https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.03.17.484712v2 In this work led by Manu Srinath Halvagal we argue thatContinue reading
