How our genome is like a generative AI model technologyreview.com/2024/07… - nice little write-up by @JessHamzelou of new preprint by me and Nick @Cheneylab 😊

How our genome is like a generative AI model

Our genetic code works a bit like DALL-E, apparently

Our new paper: ⚡Zapping!⚡ Rehearsing transfer during pre-training by repeatedly "zapping" (resampling) weights is a cheap form of meta-learning that creates neural nets that are better at transfer learning! w/ @fratietal, @jeffclune, and @CheneyLab: arxiv.org/abs/2310.07996

Reset It and Forget It: Relearning Last-Layer Weights Improves...

This work identifies a simple pre-training mechanism that leads to representations exhibiting better continual and transfer learning. This mechanism -- the repeated resetting of weights in the...
