Synaptic balancing: a biologically plausible local learning rule that provably increases neural network noise robustness without sacrificing task performance
Christopher H. Stock, Sarah E. Harvey, Samuel A. Ocko +1
We introduce a novel, biologically plausible local learning rule that provably increases the robustness of neural dynamics to noise in nonlinear recurrent neural networks with homo…
A Unified Theory of Early Visual Representations from Retina to Cortex through Anatomically Constrained Deep CNNs
Jack Lindsey, Samuel A. Ocko, Surya Ganguli +1
The visual system is hierarchically organized to process visual information in successive stages. Neural representations vary drastically across the first stages of visual processi…
Breaking Chiral Symmetry with Microfluidics
Laura L. A. Adams, Samuel A. Ocko
A robust route for the biased production of single-handed chiral structures has been found in generating non-spherical, multi-component double emulsions using microfluidics. The sp…
Termite mounds harness diurnal temperature oscillations for ventilation
Hunter King, Samuel A. Ocko, L. Mahadevan
Many species of millimetric fungus-harvesting termites collectively build uninhabited, massive mound structures enclosing a network of broad tunnels which protrude from the ground…
Feedback induced phase transitions in active porous media
Samuel A. Ocko, L. Mahadevan
Flow through passive porous media is typically described in terms of a linear theory relating current fluxes and driving forces, in the presence of a prescribed heterogeneous perme…
Collective thermoregulation in bee clusters
Samuel A. Ocko, L. Mahadevan
Swarming is an essential part of honeybee behaviour, wherein thousands of bees cling onto each other to form a dense cluster that may be exposed to the environment for several days…
Non-perturbative gadget for topological quantum codes
Samuel A. Ocko, Beni Yoshida
Many-body entangled systems, in particular topologically ordered spin systems proposed as resources for quantum information processing tasks, often involve highly non-local interac…
Quantum codes give counterexamples to the unique pre-image conjecture of the N-representability problem
Samuel A. Ocko, Xie Chen, Bei Zeng +4
It is well known that the ground state energy of many-particle Hamiltonians involving only 2-body interactions can be obtained using constrained optimizations over density matrices…
