Enabling Uncertainty Estimation in Iterative Neural Networks

Pascal Fua, Doruk Oner, Nikita Durasov, Minh Hieu Lê

Turning pass-through network architectures into iterative ones, which use their own output as input, is a well-known approach for boosting performance. In this paper, we argue that such architectures offer an additional benefit: The convergence rate of the ...

Generalization of Scaled Deep ResNets in the Mean-Field Regime

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu

Despite the widespread empirical success of ResNet, the generalization properties of deep ResNet are rarely explored beyond the lazy training regime. In this work, we investigate scaled ResNet in the limit of infinitely deep and wide neural networks, of wh ...

The neural correlates of topographical disorientation-a lesion analysis study

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Topographical disorientation refers to the selective inability to orient oneself in familiar surroundings. However, to date its neural correlates remain poorly understood. Here we use quantitative lesion analysis and a lesion network mapping approach in or ...

Combining biophysical models and machine learning to optimize implant geometry and stimulation protocol for intraneural electrodes

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Elena Losanno, Luca Pierantoni

Objective. Peripheral nerve interfaces have the potential to restore sensory, motor, and visceral functions. In particular, intraneural interfaces allow targeting deep neural structures with high selectivity, even if their performance strongly depends upon ...
