בגאווה ישראלית גדולה בירכתי היום את פרופסור חיים סומפולינסקי מהאוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים על זכייתו בפרס Lundbeck היוקרתי - הפרס החשוב ביותר בעולם בתחום חקר המוח. מדובר בהישג ישראלי פורץ דרך, שמשקף את מצוינות האקדמיה הישראלית במחקר ובכלל. אני סמוך ובטוח כי בעקבותיו יבואו עוד אותות ופרסים שיוקירו את תרומתם של ישראליות וישראלים לקהילה המדעית העולמית, ומקווה ופועל לכך שנדע להכיר תודה - כחברה וכמדינה - לענקי האקדמיה והמחקר שלנו.

We highlight a study by Ben Sorscher, @SuryaGanguli and @HSompolinsky in which they explore a quantitative theory of neural geometry and few shot learning in deep neural networks and in macaque inferotemporal cortex (rdcu.be/cZCJ3). nature.com/articles/s43588-0…

The importance of studying naturalistic behaviors. Scroll to the end of the video for extremely impressive Puffer Fish art! – at Stanford, CA
The Japanese 🇯🇵 Puffer Fish is probably nature's greatest artist 🐟 To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief 😲

I am excited to announce a new work by an outstanding PhD student Ben Sorscher from Ganguli Lab that links the geometry of neural representations to one of most remarkable cognitive human abilities, learning new concepts from only few examples. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

When neurons collectively represent objects, what would make a good representation? Is object representation improved along the layers of deep networks? Our Nature Communications paper got some hints! nature.com/articles/s41467-0… With @s_y_chung, Dan Lee & @hsompolinsky. 1/5
