Driving and suppressing the human language network using large language models
Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses to 1,000 diverse sentences, we first show that a GPT-based encoding model can predict t ...
Berlin2024Hearing structure in music: An empirical inquiry into listening as representation and processing
As a universal expression of human creativity, music is capable of conveying great subtlety and complexity. Crucially, this complexity is not encoded in the score or in the sounds, but is rather construed in the mind of the listener in the form of nuanced ...
EPFL2024Concevoir un robot avec des élèves de 10-12 ans Felipe
Cet atelier présente une activité débranchée visant la conception d’un robot en réponse à un besoin spécifique. Reposant sur une approche méthodique, elle est principalement destinée à des élèves de 10-12 ans. Avant d'entamer le processus de conception, pl ...
2024The conceptual foundations of innate immunity: Taking stock 30 years later
While largely neglected over decades during which adaptive immunity captured most of the attention, innate immune mechanisms have now become central to our understanding of immunology. Innate immunity provides the first barrier to infection in vertebrates, ...
2024Event-related causality in stereo-EEG discriminates syntactic processing of noun phrases and verb phrases
Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni
Objective. Syntax involves complex neurobiological mechanisms, which are difficult to disentangle for multiple reasons. Using a protocol able to separate syntactic information from sound information we investigated the neural causal connections evoked by t ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Writing and Drawing Inventions: Patents and Technology in France and the United States (18th-19th centuries)
Description (through texts, images, models or samples) played a central role in the patent regimes that emerged in the eighteenth century, first in England, later in the United States and in France. Description ensured that the contract—protection in excha ...
2023Interpreting Rhythm as Parsing: Syntactic-Processing Operations Predict the Migration of Visual Flashes as Perceived During Listening to Musical Rhythms
Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti
Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events, and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial task to syntactic processing in language. While this perspective has been ...
Hoboken2023Stop Pre-Training: Adapt Visual-Language Models to Unseen Languages
Karl Aberer, Rémi Philippe Lebret, Negar Foroutan Eghlidi
Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP) has advanced the performance of many visionlanguage tasks, such as image-text retrieval, visual entailment, and visual reasoning. The pre-training mostly utilizes lexical databases and image queries in English. Previous w ...
Assoc Computational Linguistics-Acl2023Modeling Structured Data in Attention-based Models
Natural language processing has experienced significant improvements with the development of Transformer-based models, which employ self-attention mechanism and pre-training strategies. However, these models still present several obstacles. A notable issue ...
EPFL2023Text Representation Learning for Low Cost Natural Language Understanding
Jan Frederik Jonas Florian Mai
Natural language processing and other artificial intelligence fields have witnessed impressive progress over the past decade. Although some of this progress is due to algorithmic advances in deep learning, the majority has arguably been enabled by scaling ...
