SUMMARY:Girls' Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:What is intelligence\, and how can research contribute to improving current technologies with insights from this work? At the Girls’ Day with the Excellence Cluster Science of Intelligence\, you’ll find out how scientists from various disciplines research the topic of intelligence. Through interactive exchanges\, you can learn how researchers work to understand intelligence from different perspectives. After a brief exchange\, the participants will visit the researchers’ labs in two groups and experience firsthand how intelligent robots work. They will also participate in a workshop where they can transform their impressions into a puzzle model. \nTo take part in our program\, you should be between 10 and 15 years old. \nThe program is in German. \nMore infos here.

SUMMARY:Bojana Grujičić (Science of Intelligence)\, "Artificial Possibilities"
DESCRIPTION:Science often deals with issues pertaining to possibilities\, contingencies and necessities\, by engaging in thought experiments and modeling. This talk discusses how much deep learning can be helpful for navigating the possibility space for intelligence\, adding to our scientific understanding of possibilities. One epistemically useful feature of neural networks is their runnability – they can be trained to perform a cognitive task and can run when given novel stimuli\, demonstrating possibilities of cognitive phenomena based on sets of inductive biases. I focus on the problem of justification of neural network-based inferences about possibilities and outline a plausible justificatory strategy. I consider a number of reasons for taking neural network-demonstrated possibilities to be technological\, rather than biological possibilities. Despite this\, I argue that they add to our scientific understanding of possibilities related to intelligence. \n  \nPhoto by Joakim Honkasalo on Unsplash.

SUMMARY:Ralf Kurvers (MPI for Human Development)\, “Individual\, Social and Ecological Drivers of Human Collective Foraging”
DESCRIPTION:Foraging complexity and competitive social challenges are considered key drivers of human cognition. Yet\, we still have a poor understanding of the decision-making mechanisms underlying foraging behavior\, especially in social contexts. In this talk\, I will combine immersive lab experiments\, field work using high-resolution tracking\, and computational and agent-based models to uncover the mechanisms guiding human foraging decisions. I hope to convince you that foraging provides a rich test bed to study a broad range of cognitive processes\, such as memory\, learning\, and evidence accumulation\, and that the current technological advancements allow us to do this even in the challenging conditions of the natural world. \n  \nThis talk is part of David Mezey‘s course “Introduction to Modeling Collective Behavior\, ” a seminar on collective behavior research\, combined with multiple interactive elements. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Adrien Doerig (Freie Universität)\, “High-Level Visual Representations in the Human Brain Are Aligned With Large Language Models”
DESCRIPTION:The human brain extracts complex information from visual inputs\, including objects\, their spatial and semantic interrelations\, and their interactions with the environment. However\, a quantitative approach to capture this information remains elusive. I will present work where we show that LLM embeddings of scene captions successfully characterise brain activity evoked by viewing the natural scenes. This mapping captures selectivities of different brain areas\, and is sufficiently robust that accurate scene captions can be reconstructed from brain activity. Further\, we show that neural networks trained to transform image inputs into LLM representations are better aligned with brain representations than a large number of state-of-the-art alternative models\, despite being trained on orders-of-magnitude less data. Overall\, these results suggest that LLM embeddings of scene captions provide a representational format that accounts for complex information extracted by the brain from visual inputs. \nPhoto created with DALL-E by Maria Ott.

SUMMARY:Marina Papadopoulou (Tuscia University)\, “Across the Swarm-Verse: The Self-Organization of Animal Collectives on the Move”
DESCRIPTION:From the daily movement of primate troops to the mesmerizing murmurations of starling flocks in the sky\, the dynamics of animal groups on the move fascinate us with the mystery of their underlying social interactions. In this talk\, I will first showcase how we combine empirical data and computational models based on self-organization to understand the individual rules that underlie collective behaviour\, using bird flocks under attack by a robotic predator as a case study. Given that identifying unique and common traits across systems is necessary to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape the diversity of collective behaviour we see in nature\, I will further present the Swarm-Verse\, a new framework to quantify variation in collective motion across species\, using studies on fish\, goats\, pigeons and baboons. \nThis talk is part of David Mezey‘s course “Introduction to Modeling Collective Behavior\, ” a seminar on collective behavior research\, combined with multiple interactive elements. \n  \n  \n  \nImage created with DALL-E by Maria Ott
