Simons Collaboration on the Physics of Learning and Neural Computation

The new collaboration will serve as a concerted effort to discover the fundamental principles that make AI work by treating AI as a complex physical system. Collaboration researchers will draw on physics, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics and statistics to understand how the structure of data, learning dynamics and neural architectures interact to yield striking emergent computations, including reasoning and creativity.
