AI Consciousness and Existential Risk
Rufin VanRullen
In AI, the existential risk denotes the hypothetical threat posed by an artificial system that would possess both the capability and the objective, either directly or indirectly, t…
GASPnet: Global Agreement to Synchronize Phases
Andrea Alamia, Sabine Muzellec, Thomas Serre +1
In recent years, Transformer architectures have revolutionized most fields of artificial intelligence, relying on an attentional mechanism based on the agreement between keys and q…
Follow the Energy, Find the Path: Riemannian Metrics from Energy-Based Models
Louis Béthune, David Vigouroux, Yilun Du +3
What is the shortest path between two data points lying in a high-dimensional space? While the answer is trivial in Euclidean geometry, it becomes significantly more complex when t…
Learning to Chain Operations by Routing Information Through a Global Workspace
Hugo Chateau-Laurent, Rufin VanRullen
We present a model inspired by the Global Workspace Theory that integrates specialized modules to perform a sequential reasoning task. A controller selectively routes information b…
Multimodal Dreaming: A Global Workspace Approach to World Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
Léopold Maytié, Roland Bertin Johannet, Rufin VanRullen
Humans leverage rich internal models of the world to reason about the future, imagine counterfactuals, and adapt flexibly to new situations. In Reinforcement Learning (RL), world m…
Enhancing deep neural networks through complex-valued representations and Kuramoto synchronization dynamics
Sabine Muzellec, Andrea Alamia, Thomas Serre +1
Neural synchrony is hypothesized to play a crucial role in how the brain organizes visual scenes into structured representations, enabling the robust encoding of multiple objects w…
