Statistical Mechanics podcasts

Stanford researcher Surya Ganguli connects statistical physics, theoretical neuroscience and machine learning. He discusses scaling laws, data selection and the origins of diffusion models, then turns to neural experiments on perception, self-related processing and describing neuronal responses. The conversation closes with questions about human versus machine data efficiency and the different ways brains and artificial networks acquire useful algorithms. Hosted by Ravid Shwartz Ziv and Allen Roush. Watch the full conversation on the publisher’s YouTube channel.
