In pyramidal neuron we trust π§ π‘
Paper shows that dendritic #ANNs inspired by #brain connectivity reduce overfitting, use fewer parameters, and outperform traditional ANNs in image classification!
going towards #AI or towards cognitive #neuroscience? π₯π

βJust as #research has shown that feedback from caregivers shapes infant productions of sounds, feedback from the discriminator network shapes the sound productions of the generator network"
This is a pretty big finding. If it's accurate, we can test theories of #language development using artificial neural networks (#ANNs) instead of having to scan human brains!

i predict that when #experiments show that single celled #organisms like #bacteria and #yeast can outperform overparametrized machine learning models like #ANNs on the most challenging types of decision problems, #biology will provide a strong riposte to #computer science and the mindset that biological #intelligence is easily explainable using #computational #models

Are you also excited and/or want to learn more about the new opportunities #ANNs provide to ask #why questions of #minds and #brains?
