Diffusing Blame: Task-Dependent Credit Assignment in Biologically Plausible Dual-Stream Networks
Yutaro Yamada, Luca Grillotti, Rujikorn Charakorn +3
Biological neural circuits obey Dale's principle: each neuron's synapses are uniformly excitatory or inhibitory. Artificial networks that respect this constraint must coordinate se…
Towards End-to-End Automation of AI Research
Yutaro Yamada, Robert Tjarko Lange, Cong Lu +5
The automation of science is a long-standing ambition in the field of AI. While the community has made significant progress in automating individual components of the scientific pr…
Automating the Search for Artificial Life with Foundation Models
Akarsh Kumar, Chris Lu, Louis Kirsch +4
With the recent Nobel Prize awarded for radical advances in protein discovery, foundation models (FMs) for exploring large combinatorial spaces promise to revolutionize many scient…
The AI Scientist-v2: Workshop-Level Automated Scientific Discovery via Agentic Tree Search
Yutaro Yamada, Robert Tjarko Lange, Cong Lu +5
AI is increasingly playing a pivotal role in transforming how scientific discoveries are made. We introduce The AI Scientist-v2, an end-to-end agentic system capable of producing t…
