🐦Simplifying access to bird audio data with 6-sec segments selected via PANN in PyTorch (.pt) format! Xeno-Canto, a large pre-training dataset: huggingface.co/datasets/ilya… Eval datasets from BIRB for few-shot learning: zenodo.org/records/13994373 More info: github.com/ilyassmoummad/Pro…
We address the challenge of domain shift when training on focal recordings and testing on soundscape recordings by using supervised contrastive learning. We evaluate our approach on a large-scale few-shot benchmark for bird sound classification.

The end of 3 yrs of "ah this looks reassuring, but," biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… let's dive in🧵 We investigated the link b/w source-localized continuous EEG (Movie &Rest) and individual anatomical scaffold using Eigenmodes / Graph Signal Processing(GSP)

Content d avoir contribué à ce sujet pour @brutofficiel , merci @ChandrouKoumar !
Vous savez, cette petite mélodie qui sort de nulle part et qui squatte toute la journée dans votre tête… On appelle ça un "ver d'oreille". À deux doigts de craquer, notre journaliste @ChandrouKoumar a voulu comprendre, alors il a demandé directement à un neuroscientifique.

Jeudi soir, Sciences Po organisait un hommage à Bruno Latour, où quelques compagnons de pensée ont évoqué son oeuvre, scientifique et institutionnelle. On m’a demandé d’y participer, et j’en ai profité pour dire ce qui à mon sens serait un héritage digne de cette oeuvre. 1/x
#ScPoLatour @LaurenceTubiana @picharbonnier et @Gemenne rendent hommage à l'expérimentateur Bruno Latour. Comment fait-on de la vérité ? Éléments de réponse ici ➡️ youtu.be/D37nS_9eZGk

A new position paper on why the emerging field of Neuro-AI is attracting a lot of interest + opening important paths for basic and applied research! 🧠🤖 #neuroai 👇👇
Massive whitepaper just dropped on why neuroscience progress should continue to drive AI progress: arxiv.org/pdf/2210.08340.pdf Argues for an embodied turing test. Needed: real interdisciplinary people, shared platform(s), fundamental research
