Living brain cells enable machine learning computations
Hey there, little explorer! Guess what? Scientists did something super cool!
You know how your brain helps you learn things, like how to tie your shoes or sing a song? Well, some smart grown-ups found a way to take tiny, tiny brain cells – like little super-learners – and teach them new tricks, just like a computer learns!
Imagine you have a toy robot, and it learns to dance. These brain cells are like tiny, tiny dancers, and they learned to make special signals, like secret codes! This helps us understand brains even better and maybe even build super-smart computers one day, using ideas from our amazing brains! Isn't that neat?
A research team at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate has demonstrated that living biological neurons can be trained to perform a supervised temporal pattern learning task previously carried out by artificial systems. By integrating cultured neuronal networks into a machine learning framework, the team showed that these biological systems can generate complex time-series signals, marking a significant step forward in both neuroscience and bio-inspired computing.

[D] ICML reviewer making up false claim in acknowledgement, what to do?
In a rebuttal acknowledgement we received, the reviewer made up a claim that our method performs worse than baselines with some hyperparameter settings. We did do a comprehensive list of hyperparameter comparisons and the reviewer's claim is not supported by what's presented in the paper. In this case what can we do? submitted by /u/dontknowwhattoplay [link] [comments]
