I'm german, have been living since nearly 40 years in France, mostly in Brittany, now retired from University - continue independant and free research, speaking three languages, even if English isn't my most spontaneous tongue, I wanted to do this in english.
I came here like many others, I suppose, exhausted by hate speech on X, publicity, reels, influencers and a lot of other shit on facebook, instagram, etc., but I'm not really a fan of microblogging, that's why facebook did the job for me nearly 15 years. After a first account on mastodon.social @danahilliot with his long posts made me discover climatejustice.social - so it's not only the aims but also the possibility to develop an idea without cutting it in little pieces.
I'm interested in #decolonial #theories, #activism, #global thinking, because euro or occident centered ideas ar obsolete for me in all domains, social, economic, political, ecological and so on. After been formed by #Foucald #Benjamin, #Deleuze, #Derrida reading and studying in the 90ies, nowadays inspirations of mine are mostly Donna #Haraway, Ariella Aisha #Azoulay, Eyal #Weizman, Anna Loewenhaupt #Tsing, but I never stop discovering and go back to older reading periods.
I'm reading a lot (essays, fiction and non-fiction) and have now the time to do it, as I have the time for a lot of movies and other medias, any of them is influential in my thinking and writing.

#News 📢 from #AI #research 📂: “How #ChatGPT 💻 can benefit from human #brains 🧠 - or how we teach #machines 🤖 to #think 🤓”

My colleague #Axel #Stöcker and I have already been able to conduct some very exciting interviews on this very topic in our #Zoomposium series “#Artificial #intelligence and its consequences” and “#Cognitive #neuroscience and #epistemology”.

One “highlight”, for example, was the very exciting interview “Zoomposium with Dr. #Patrick #Krauss: ‘Bauanleitung Künstliches Bewusstsein’“, in which we asked him about the possibilities of ‘how the #theories of #consciousness - especially those of #Antonio #Damasio - could be used to develop artificial systems based on ’#felt” #information. This foundation could be used to #machine #learning and #deep #learning so that #AI #systems learn to respond to #emotions and #changes in their #environment in a similar way to #biological #organisms.

In this context #Patrick #Krauss was also currently at the „#Embodied and #Situated #Language #Processing (#ESLP2024) conference from 03 to 05 October 2024, which was organized by members of the „#Brain #Language #Lab“ of the #FreienUniversitätBerlin. There he had the opportunity to present the latest research results together with his team from #FAU.

One of #Patrick #Krauss talks was about a study „Analyzing Narrative Processing in Large Language Models”, which he had conducted in collaboration with his colleague #Achim #Schilling. The results of this study are partly based on an article “Leaky-Integrate-and-Fire Neuron-Like Long-Short-Term-Memory Units as Model System in Computational Biology”, for which he and his team were awarded the #BestPaperAward at the „International Jount Conference on Neural Networks #IJCNN2023”, the world's largest interdisciplinary conference on #artificial and #biological #neural #networks.

These current results from AI research of #Patrick #Krauss are therefore a real „jointventure” between #AI and #neuroscience, as the data and methods can contribute directly to the improvement of #large #language #models (#LLM), such as #ChatGPT, and in return the #cognitive #neurosciences can also learn something about the use and formation of #language in the #brain from this #implementation and #simulation of #cognitive #processes on #machines.
