We are measuring the clustering of our favorite *weighted* networks, but do we know the best way of defining it? We ( + @FardetTanguy) dive into it and ... #tweeprint #complexNetworks #networks #socialNetworks #graphTheory (1/n) https://t.co/zlktbaEKgf

Weights and directionality of the edges carry a large part of the information we can extract from a complex network. However, many network measures were formulated initially for undirected binary...

How to better represent 3D rotations? It was a very fun project that involved a lot of learning for me. Now accepted to #ICML2024 . Congratulations to the whole team!
Training neural networks on 3D rotations feels at times like alchemy. Which rotation representation should we use? How critical is the choice of loss? Our recent preprint looks at these questions with clear visuals and simple math. Check out 👇 https://t.co/75MetpkHu6 1/ 🧵

Exited to give a talk at #Cosyne2024 about our recent work on how different learning curricula give rise to distinct mechanisms for performing long-memory tasks. If you’re interested drop by session 8 on Saturday. Live stream: https://t.co/3mDCghjHCO

Thrilled to share our #ICLR2024 paper (co-led w/ @sinak12345 and great collaboration w/@m_giannakakis @schaefertim1 @GMartius @SelfOrgAnna). We show that mechanisms of generating long timescales for memory tasks depend on how RNNs learn the task. 🧵👇 https://t.co/rYjIPwnsRc

Very impressive joint investigation by @meduza_en and @mediazona_en on MALE excess mortality in Russia during the war: * https://t.co/Ugcql8EFrj * https://t.co/je0EwCclYo Spoiler: ~25K in 2022, ~50K until now. Here is the little part that I did, based on the Rosstat data. [1/5]

1) We present our Expressive Leaky Memory (ELM) neuron 🧠, which can capture detailed cortical neuron I/O with few thousand params (1000x improv 🤯) but can also solve complex long-range tasks such as Pathfinder-X (16k context len 🍀)! Preprint: https://t.co/dEdWliUsK9
