Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit@gatsbyucl.bsky.social · 5mo ago

📢 Job alert - Deep Learning Theory & AI Safety Applications open for a postdoc fellow (@saxelab.bsky.social lab) to study artificial deep networks using techniques from applied maths & stat physics. ⏰ Deadline: 26 Mar 2026 🤝 In collaboration with @stefsm.bsky.social ℹ️ www.ucl.ac.uk/life-science...

Excited to launch Principia, a nonprofit research organisation at the intersection of deep learning theory and AI safety. Our goal is to develop theory for modern machine learning systems that can help us understand complex network behaviors, including those critical for AI safety and alignment. 1

#CCN2026 Proceedings submissions are open and due in *two* weeks! Info about how to submit in the thread below👇 Come share your science and hang out in NYC in August. :)

2️⃣ days until #NeurIPS2025 Data on the Brain & Mind workshop! 🧠💭🤖 Join us on Dec 7 for a full-day interactive session 8am-5pm PT. Authors, please remember to RSVP for our mentorship lunch 🥙 generously supported by @kavlifoundation.org and @simonsfoundation.org (@flatironinstitute.org)

Thrilled to start 2026 as faculty in Psych & CS @ualberta.bsky.social + Amii.ca Fellow! 🥳 Recruiting students to develop theories of cognition in natural & artificial systems 🤖💭🧠. Find me at #NeurIPS2025 workshops (speaking coginterp.github.io/neurips2025 & organising @dataonbrainmind.bsky.social)

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

I'm on the academic job market! I design and analyze probabilistic machine-learning methods---motivated by real-world scientific constraints, and developed in collaboration with scientists in biology, chemistry, and physics. A few highlights of my research areas are:

Are similar representations in neural nets evidence of shared computation? In new theory work w/ Lukas Braun (lukasbraun.com) & @saxelab.bsky.social, we prove that representational comparisons are ill-posed in general, unless networks are efficient. @icmlconf.bsky.social @cogcompneuro.bsky.social
