Hi all, I have a new result I'm excited to share. It turns out that *all existing implementations* of softmax and cross-entropy (that's JAX, PyTorch, textbooks, etc) have a subtle bug --- two bugs, actually. A simple rewrite fixes both, and eliminates "slingshots" when grokking:

How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask @evadyer and Blake Richards @tyrell_turing in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series. thetransmitter.org/neuroai/a…

Accepting “bitter lesson” and embracing brain’s complexity

To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, employing large models trained on vast amounts of data. Experts weigh in.

Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in @Nature!! With @AmitVinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with @MengyuLiu96, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!
