The Dynamic Sensorium competition for predicting large-scale mouse visual cortex activity from videos

1 code implementation31 May 2023 Polina Turishcheva, Paul G. Fahey, Laura Hansel, Rachel Froebe, Kayla Ponder, Michaela Vystrčilová, Konstantin F. Willeke, Mohammad Bashiri, Eric Wang, Zhiwei Ding, Andreas S. Tolias, Fabian H. Sinz, Alexander S. Ecker

We hope this competition will continue to strengthen the accompanying Sensorium benchmarks collection as a standard tool to measure progress in large-scale neural system identification models of the entire mouse visual hierarchy and beyond.

HARD: Hard Augmentations for Robust Distillation

no code implementations24 May 2023 Arne F. Nix, Max F. Burg, Fabian H. Sinz

To improve these aspects of KD, we propose Hard Augmentations for Robust Distillation (HARD), a generally applicable data augmentation framework, that generates synthetic data points for which the teacher and the student disagree.

Multi-hypothesis 3D human pose estimation metrics favor miscalibrated distributions

1 code implementation20 Oct 2022 Paweł A. Pierzchlewicz, R. James Cotton, Mohammad Bashiri, Fabian H. Sinz

We evaluate cGNF on the Human~3. 6M dataset and show that cGNF provides a well-calibrated distribution estimate while being close to state-of-the-art in terms of overall minMPJPE.

Generalization in data-driven models of primary visual cortex

no code implementations ICLR 2021 Konstantin-Klemens Lurz, Mohammad Bashiri, Konstantin Willeke, Akshay Jagadish, Eric Wang, Edgar Y. Walker, Santiago A Cadena, Taliah Muhammad, Erick Cobos, Andreas S. Tolias, Alexander S Ecker, Fabian H. Sinz

With this new readout we train our network on neural responses from mouse primary visual cortex (V1) and obtain a gain in performance of 7% compared to the previous state-of-the-art network.

Factorized Neural Processes for Neural Processes: $K$-Shot Prediction of Neural Responses

1 code implementation22 Oct 2020 R. James Cotton, Fabian H. Sinz, Andreas S. Tolias

We overcome this limitation by formulating the problem as $K$-shot prediction to directly infer a neuron's tuning function from a small set of stimulus-response pairs using a Neural Process.

Rotation-invariant clustering of neuronal responses in primary visual cortex

no code implementations ICLR 2020 Ivan Ustyuzhaninov, Santiago A. Cadena, Emmanouil Froudarakis, Paul G. Fahey, Edgar Y. Walker, Erick Cobos, Jacob Reimer, Fabian H. Sinz, Andreas S. Tolias, Matthias Bethge, Alexander S. Ecker

Similar to a convolutional neural network (CNN), the mammalian retina encodes visual information into several dozen nonlinear feature maps, each formed by one ganglion cell type that tiles the visual space in an approximately shift-equivariant manner.

Clustering Open-Ended Question Answering

How well do deep neural networks trained on object recognition characterize the mouse visual system?

no code implementations NeurIPS Workshop Neuro_AI 2019 Santiago A. Cadena, Fabian H. Sinz, Taliah Muhammad, Emmanouil Froudarakis, Erick Cobos, Edgar Y. Walker, Jake Reimer, Matthias Bethge, Andreas Tolias, Alexander S. Ecker

Recent work on modeling neural responses in the primate visual system has benefited from deep neural networks trained on large-scale object recognition, and found a hierarchical correspondence between layers of the artificial neural network and brain areas along the ventral visual stream.

A rotation-equivariant convolutional neural network model of primary visual cortex

1 code implementation ICLR 2019 Alexander S. Ecker, Fabian H. Sinz, Emmanouil Froudarakis, Paul G. Fahey, Santiago A. Cadena, Edgar Y. Walker, Erick Cobos, Jacob Reimer, Andreas S. Tolias, Matthias Bethge

We present a framework to identify common features independent of individual neurons' orientation selectivity by using a rotation-equivariant convolutional neural network, which automatically extracts every feature at multiple different orientations.

Hierarchical Modeling of Local Image Features through L_p-Nested Symmetric Distributions

no code implementations NeurIPS 2009 Matthias Bethge, Eero P. Simoncelli, Fabian H. Sinz

We introduce a new family of distributions, called $L_p${\em -nested symmetric distributions}, whose densities access the data exclusively through a hierarchical cascade of $L_p$-norms.

The Conjoint Effect of Divisive Normalization and Orientation Selectivity on Redundancy Reduction

no code implementations NeurIPS 2008 Fabian H. Sinz, Matthias Bethge

Bandpass filtering, orientation selectivity, and contrast gain control are prominent features of sensory coding at the level of V1 simple cells.
