Contrast encodes inductive bias: separating slow noise from dynamics in predictive representation learning

Paarth Gulati, Ilya Nemenman

Self-supervised methods that learn representations and predict dynamics fully in the latent space, such as JEPA, have been shown to confuse slowly varying noise with the dynamical…

Random neural networks match observed dimensionality of neural population recordings and motivate stronger experimental tests

Zehui Zhao, Michael J Pasek, Ilya M Nemenman

Randomly connected neural networks have long served as a theoretical tool for studying collective dynamics in neural populations, yet quantitative comparisons to experiments remain…

Machine learning that predicts well may not learn the correct physical descriptions of glassy systems

Arabind Swain, Sean Alexander Ridout, Ilya Nemenman

The complexity of glasses makes it challenging to explain their dynamics. Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a promising pathway for understanding glassy dynamics by linking thei…

Quantifying evolvability in small biological networks

Andrew Mugler, Etay Ziv, Ilya Nemenman +1

We introduce a quantitative measure of the capacity of a small biological network to evolve. We apply our measure to a stochastic description of the experimental setup of Guet et a…
