🧠 TODAY at #CCN2025 ! Poster A145, 1:30-4:30pm at de Brug & E‑Hall. We've developed a bio-inspired "What-Where" CNN that mimics primate visual pathways - achieving better classification with less computation. Come chat! 🎯

Presented by main author Jean-Nicolas JÉRÉMIE and in cosupervision with Emmanuel Daucé

Our research introduces a novel "What-Where" approach to CNN categorization, inspired by the dual pathways of the primate visual system:

  • The ventral "What" pathway for object recognition

  • The dorsal "Where" pathway for spatial localization

Key innovations:

✅ Bio-inspired selective attention mechanism

✅ Improved classification performance with reduced computational cost

✅ Smart visual sensor that samples only relevant image regions

✅ Likelihood mapping for targeted processing

The results?

Better accuracy while using fewer resources - proving that nature's designs can still teach us valuable lessons about efficient AI.

Come find us this afternoon for great discussions!

The #NeuroFedora team has changed how it packages software for users. We now prioritise software that cannot easily be installed from upstream forges (like PyPi) for inclusion as #rpm packages into @fedora . Software that can be easily installed is tested to ensure that it functions on all the #Python versions supported by any Fedora release.

The Comp Neuro Lab has also been dropped.

New preprint with @marcusghosh on how neural network architecture shapes function. We explored a wide range of architectures, and a family of tasks with components of navigation, decision making under uncertainty, multimodal integration and memory. Performance better explained by "computational traits" like sensitivity and memory, than by architectural features.

I just discovered the ARC-AGI initiative and the associated test to estimate how close "AI" models are from #AGI

arcprize.org/arc-agi

While I found the initiative interesting, I'm not sure I understand what in this test really guarantees that the model is capable of some form of generalization and problem-solving.
Wouldn't it be possible for specialized pattern-matching/discovering algorithms to solve such problems?
I imagine some computer scientists, mathematicians or computational neuroscientists have already had a look at this, so would anyone knows of some articles/blogs on the topic?

Maybe @wim_v12e? Is this something you already looked at?
