BrainWideBench: Benchmarking large-scale pretraining and across-animal transfer in multi-region neural recordings
Alexandre Andre, Shivashriganesh P. Mahato, Vinam Arora +39
Advances in large-scale neural recording have made it possible to collect data across many animals and distributed brain regions, raising the question of whether this scale can be…
Know Thyself by Knowing Others: Learning Neuron Identity from Population Context
Vinam Arora, Divyansha Lachi, Ian J. Knight +5
Neurons process information in ways that depend on their cell type, connectivity, and the brain region in which they are embedded. However, inferring these factors from neural acti…
GraphFM: A generalist graph transformer that learns transferable representations across diverse domains
Divyansha Lachi, Mehdi Azabou, Vinam Arora +1
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are often trained on individual datasets, requiring specialized models and significant hyperparameter tuning due to the unique structures and features…
A Unified, Scalable Framework for Neural Population Decoding
Mehdi Azabou, Vinam Arora, Venkataramana Ganesh +7
Our ability to use deep learning approaches to decipher neural activity would likely benefit from greater scale, in terms of both model size and datasets. However, the integration…
Half-Hop: A graph upsampling approach for slowing down message passing
Mehdi Azabou, Venkataramana Ganesh, Shantanu Thakoor +6
Message passing neural networks have shown a lot of success on graph-structured data. However, there are many instances where message passing can lead to over-smoothing or fail whe…
Relax, it doesn't matter how you get there: A new self-supervised approach for multi-timescale behavior analysis
Mehdi Azabou, Michael Mendelson, Nauman Ahad +4
Natural behavior consists of dynamics that are complex and unpredictable, especially when trying to predict many steps into the future. While some success has been found in buildin…
Learning signatures of decision making from many individuals playing the same game
Michael J Mendelson, Mehdi Azabou, Suma Jacob +5
Human behavior is incredibly complex and the factors that drive decision making--from instinct, to strategy, to biases between individuals--often vary over multiple timescales. In…
Learning Behavior Representations Through Multi-Timescale Bootstrapping
Mehdi Azabou, Michael Mendelson, Maks Sorokin +4
Natural behavior consists of dynamics that are both unpredictable, can switch suddenly, and unfold over many different timescales. While some success has been found in building rep…
Drop, Swap, and Generate: A Self-Supervised Approach for Generating Neural Activity
Ran Liu, Mehdi Azabou, Max Dabagia +5
Meaningful and simplified representations of neural activity can yield insights into how and what information is being processed within a neural circuit. However, without labels, f…
Mine Your Own vieW: Self-Supervised Learning Through Across-Sample Prediction
Mehdi Azabou, Mohammad Gheshlaghi Azar, Ran Liu +10
State-of-the-art methods for self-supervised learning (SSL) build representations by maximizing the similarity between different transformed "views" of a sample. Without sufficient…
Large-Scale Representation Learning on Graphs via Bootstrapping
Shantanu Thakoor, Corentin Tallec, Mohammad Gheshlaghi Azar +5
Self-supervised learning provides a promising path towards eliminating the need for costly label information in representation learning on graphs. However, to achieve state-of-the-…
Making transport more robust and interpretable by moving data through a small number of anchor points
Chi-Heng Lin, Mehdi Azabou, Eva L. Dyer
Optimal transport (OT) is a widely used technique for distribution alignment, with applications throughout the machine learning, graphics, and vision communities. Without any addit…
