Brain-inspired warm-up training with random noise for uncertainty calibration - Nature Machine Intelligence Cheon and Paik show that overconfidence in deep neural networks arises from standard initialization practices, and that brief warm-up training with random noise improves uncertainty calibration and meta-cognitive recognition of unknown inputs.

A neurodevelopment-inspired warm-up strategy to address uncertainty calibration: networks are briefly trained on random noise and labels before exposure to real data, leading to well-calibrated confidence and strong detection of unknown inputs.

Cool results!

🧪🧠📈 Happy #SciFri folks! Wanted to share out some work my team has been working on.

Introducing TRIBE v2: a foundation model of the brain's responses to sight, sound & language.

great work led by @sdascoli.bsky.social! Check out his post for more details! 🤩

What if your brain doesn’t just process info, it tells time thru it? @dgsomucla.bsky.social's Buonomano chats w/ @neildegrassetyson.com about how neural activity encodes time. Cracking this could reshape how we understand biological & artificial intelligence #neuroai www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5RB...

So I know in most biomedical research programs where labs receive NIH funding there is a requirement on Responsible Conduct of Research.

Any such requirement in computer science? Especially #NeuroAI labs? Because it feels like some of you and your students could use at least a refresher.

bionic-vision.org | Research Spotlights | Jan Antolik Prof. Jan Antolik’s path into computational neuroscience began in artificial intelligence, at a time when the field was far from its current prominence. What started as a detour to better understand…

From #AI to #CompNeuro to #BionicVision:

“If we wish to intervene in the brain, it is not enough to know what computations we wish to impact...”

A great entry into the proposals available for physiologically plausible gradient descent!

I think the way they use dendrite targeting inhibition in this model is particularly elegant.

Time to start testing these ideas folks!!!
