The Re-Align workshop is back for its 4th edition! 🧠🤖 Come be a part of a growing community of researchers working on representational alignment in minds and machines, spanning AI, Cognitive Science, and Neuroscience. We've got multiple tracks. Check out the details below and submit your work!

In this work, we explore which computational ingredients matter for building human-like semantic representations in LLMs. Find out more in the thread 🧵
This work was led by the brilliant @zstuddiford.bsky.social, who is on the grad school market — recruit him while you can! 😉

Invited talk by @irisgroen.bsky.social - Representational alignment between DNNs and the brain: Going beyond objects

Invited talk of @mschrimpf.bsky.social - Representations with a purpose: Grounding Alignment in Use-Driven Questions

And the posters are out!

Contributed talk by Megan Tjandrasuwita - Understanding the Emergence of Multimodal Representation Alignment

@itsneuronal.bsky.social - What representational geometry implies about decodable information

Janet Wiles - Social robots and language technologies: Insights and open challenges in aligning representations in social interactions

event in Amsterdam! 🇳🇱

Getting aligned on representational alignment Biological and artificial information processing systems form representations of the world that they can use to categorize, reason, plan, navigate, and make decisions. How can we measure the similarit...

🤔 Curious about what "representational alignment" actually means? 🧩 Check out our freshly updated preprint! 📝✨ We've incorporated exciting findings and contributions from the previous edition into this comprehensive update!

✨ Come join us at the Second edition of the Re-Align workshop
@iclr_conf
! 🚀🧠 The workshop explores the fascinating question of how artificial and biological systems align in their representations of the world. #ReAlign #ICLR2025

Discover how our new mechanistic interpretability work uncovers universal concepts. Check it out on arXiv!

Re-Align returns to #ICLR2025! Please consider submitting if you work on how ML / CogSci / Neuro systems represent the world & what factors shape these representations 💭🧠🤖
