Learning produces an orthogonalized state machine in the hippocampus

Flipboard

Cognitive maps confer animals with flexible intelligence by representing spatial, temporal and abstract relationships that can be used to shape thought, planning and behaviour. Cognitive maps have been observed in the hippocampus1, but their algorithmic form and learning mechanisms remain obscure.

The Sequence Radar #521: Anthropic Help US Look Into The Mind of Claude

TheSequence

Today’s tools can only scratch the surface of LLM cognition. Mapping features doesn’t fully explain their interactions, much like knowing neuron types doesn’t equate to understanding the brain. Despite the breakthroughs, the path ahead is steep.

Visual language maps for robot navigation

Google Research AI blog

Posted by Oier Mees, PhD Student, University of Freiburg, and Andy Zeng, Research Scientist, Robotics at Google People are excellent navigators of the physical world, due in part to their remarkable ability to build cognitive maps that form the basis of spatial memory — from localizing landmarks at varying ontological levels (like a book on a shelf (..)

Fuzzy Cognetive Maps to improve the Genetic Algorithm for community detection

Mlearning.ai

Explanation of the Paper Fuzzy Cognitive Map-Based Genetic Algorithm for Community Detection. Fuzzy cognetive maps are applied in this paper to reduce convergence time. Introduction Detecting communities is an active area of research. Detecting communities in networks can be done using the genetic Algorithm(GA).
