1.1. Caroline Simpson and Pruning Cascade Correlation Networks
Date: Author: Britt Anderson
For some time now Hanbin and I have been interested in the cascade correlation (pdf) neural network architecture. The two of us played with it some using the code that its inventor, Scott Fahlman, made available on line in Lisp (and again, isn't it amazing to use a programming language that you can run out of the box forty years after it was written).
1.2. Cognitive Modeling of Complex Behavior - The Lorentz Center
Date: Author: Britt Anderson
How Best to Model a Complex Behavior? I recently had the chance to attend a workshop devoted to reflecting on exactly that problem. It was a wonderful experience. Not just because the topic was interesting, and my fellow attendees were smart and fun people to learn from, but also because the venue fostered an environment that allowed one to exit from the day to day pre-occupations and focus in a sustained way.
1.3. New Theoretical Neuroscience Podcast
Date: Author: Britt Anderson
I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts. However, when it comes to neuroscience, and especially theoretical neuroscience, there are not too many to chose from. So, I want to highlight a new podcast that was just announced on the neuroinformatics mailing list. It is organized by Gaute Einevoll and available from many of the usual sources, e.g. apple podcasts. Currently it is free to listen to, but that could change. There is a Patreon page if you want to support the effort. I have listened to a couple of the episodes and look forward to more.
