Thursday Morning Talk Romain Couillet (University Grenoble-Alps, France), “Random Matrices Could Steer the Dangerous Path Taken by AI but Even That Is Likely Not Enough”
On ZoomAbstract: Like most of our technologies today, AI dramatically increases the world's carbon footprint, thereby strengthening the severity of the coming downfall of life on the planet. In this talk,

Thursday Morning Talk Lars Chittka (Queen Mary, University of London), “The Mind of a Bee”
TU BerlinAbstract: Bees have a diverse instinctual repertoire that exceeds in complexity that of most vertebrates. This repertoire allows the social organisation of such feats as the construction of precisely hexagonal
-
Thursday Morning Talk Elke Weber (Princeton University), “Personal and Social Information Search and Integration for Intelligent Decisions on Climate Action”
On ZoomAbstract: Some of my past and current research looks at "decisions from experience,” i.e., decisions based on the personally experienced outcomes of past choices, along the lines of reinforcement learning

Thursday Morning Talk Ruben Arslan (MPI Berlin): “Bad Science vs. Open Science. The Replication Crisis and Possible Ways Out.”
On ZoomEstimates from large-scale replication projects in psychology suggest that the majority of studies from top journals do not replicate. Using commonly accepted research methods, several academic fields amassed prolific, seemingly coherent literatures
-
PI Lecture Lars Lewejohann (Science of Intelligence), “What’s on a Mouse’s Mind? Behavioral Measures To Understand Experiences and Needs of an Animal”
What's on a mouse's mind? Behavioral measures to understand experiences and needs of an animal Lars Lewejohann, Freie Universität Berlin, German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), German Centre for

Mengmi Zhang (Harvard Medical School), “A Peek Into How Brain Computations Inspire New Paths in AI and How AI Elucidate Brain Computations”
On ZoomAbstract: The fields of neuroscience and AI have a long and intertwined history. From the study of simple and complex cells in visual areas of the brain to the recent success
-
PI Lecture Henning Sprekeler (Science of Intelligence), “Harnessing Machine Learning To Model Biological Systems”
"Harnessing machine learning to model biological systems" Abstract: Classically, models of biological systems follow two different approaches. In bottom-up approaches, biological data are used to constrain a phenomenological model of
-
Thursday Morning Talk Dimitri Coelho Mollo (Science of Intelligence), “The Concept of Intelligence – A progress report”
In this presentation, I will report on the results of my work so far on the concept of intelligence, summarising some of the main points and proposals made, and opening

Thursday Morning Talk Mathilde Caron, “Self-Supervised Learning: How To Learn From Images Without Human Annotations”
On ZoomAbstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) consists in training neural network systems without using any human annotations. Typically, neural networks require large amounts of annotated data, which have limited their applications in
-
Thursday Morning Talk Yuejiang Liu (EPFL University), “Learning Beyond the IID Setting with Robust and Adaptive Representations”
On ZoomAbstract Machine learning models have achieved stunning successes in the IID setting. Yet, beyond this setting, existing models still suffer from two grand challenges: brittle under covariate shift and inefficient
-
PI Lecture Marcel Brass (Science of Intelligence), “The Cognitive Neuroscience of Implementing Novel Instructions”
One fundamental difference between human and non-human animals is the ability of humans to instantaneously implement instructed behaviour. While other animals acquire new behaviour via effortful trial-and-error learning or extensive
