1/8 Can we use embodied AI to gain insight into *why* neural systems are as they are? In previous work👇, we demonstrated that a contrastive unsupervised objective substantially outperforms supervised object categorization at generating networks that predict mouse visual cortex.

In addition to increasing reproducibility, @PLOSCompBiol’s mandated #CodeSharing policy has had other, unexpected impacts on the journal process and publication stream, including #PeerReview. theplosblog.plos.org/2023/09… #PeerReviewWeek @PeerRevWeek #OpenCode
A chart shows that 96% of authors share code. Text reads: Code sharing rates have increased by over 40 percentage points since 2019

1/ Do you have a "hairball" network in need of pruning? Are you interested in removing edges w/out disrupting dynamics like epidemics? New work w/ Alexander Mercier & Cris Moore in @PLOSCompBiol shows you how! @HarvardChanSPH @Experiential_AI @sfiscience journals.plos.org/ploscompbi…
US census travel network on the left visualized as a dense hairball network. On the right is a sparsified version that removes over 90% of the edges.
