For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...
Researchers use statistical physics and "toy models" to explain how neural networks avoid overfitting and stabilize learning in high-dimensional spaces.
