BI 169 Andrea Martin: Neural Dynamics and Language
Computational Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and podcast with Andrea Martin
Brain Inspired, Hosted by Paul Middlebrooks
About
Andrea Martin develops an account of language that combines compositional structure with physiological constraints from human brains. She discusses neural dynamics and low-dimensional manifolds as a way to connect statistical regularities with formal organization, and considers how this approach relates to the capabilities and limitations of large language models.
