What if spike-tokenising decoders could learn from unlabelled neural data? 🧠⚡
Introducing MOJO, a joint SSL+SL framework for POYO- & POSSM-style models. MOJO improves decoding & few-shot transfer and yields more interpretable unit embeddings across neural datasets & tasks.

Given the energy spent improving predictive protein sequence models, can we find out how close they are to the ground truth? Log-likelihoods and RMSEs are no good for this, and can only be used for model comparison. (Deep) Kernel Methods to the rescue! (ICML 2024 Poster)
