Intrinsic Goals for Autonomous Agents: Model-Based Exploration in Virtual Zebrafish Predicts Ethological Behavior and Whole-Brain Dynamics
Reece Keller, Alyn Kirsch, Felix Pei +3
Autonomy is a hallmark of animal intelligence, enabling adaptive and intelligent behavior in complex environments without relying on external reward or task structure. Existing rei…
sbi reloaded: a toolkit for simulation-based inference workflows
Jan Boelts, Michael Deistler, Manuel Gloeckler +30
Scientists and engineers use simulators to model empirically observed phenomena. However, tuning the parameters of a simulator to ensure its outputs match observed data presents a…
Inferring stochastic low-rank recurrent neural networks from neural data
Matthijs Pals, A Erdem SaÄtekin, Felix Pei +2
A central aim in computational neuroscience is to relate the activity of large populations of neurons to an underlying dynamical system. Models of these neural dynamics should idea…
Latent Diffusion for Neural Spiking Data
Jaivardhan Kapoor, Auguste Schulz, Julius Vetter +3
Modern datasets in neuroscience enable unprecedented inquiries into the relationship between complex behaviors and the activity of many simultaneously recorded neurons. While laten…
A Practical Guide to Sample-based Statistical Distances for Evaluating Generative Models in Science
Sebastian Bischoff, Alana Darcher, Michael Deistler +18
Generative models are invaluable in many fields of science because of their ability to capture high-dimensional and complicated distributions, such as photo-realistic images, prote…
