🚨 Super excited to share our latest work:

RABBiT: a foundation model for speech- and language-evoked brain activity.** 🧠🎧
W/ @mtoneva1
One model enables:

✅ accurate zero-shot brain prediction
✅ efficient few-shot adaptation with only 5-10 mins of subject data
✅ convenient in silico neuroscience experiments
and it’s so lightweight that it enables real-time, in-browser inference (feel free to try for yourself!)

Here's the story. 🧵👇

Very happy to announce that RABBiT has been accepted at @NeurIPSConf, excited to present it at Sydney this year 🎉!

We are also presenting this work at @SNLmtg tomorrow. If you are in Geneva, please drop by poster E58 at the 11am session tomorrow or feel free to reach out anytime!

Looking forward to the feedback and discussions :")!

If you are attending @ISCAInterspeech, I will be giving a talk today on this work, where we show that brain-tuning speech models leads to brain-like processing stages.

Looking forward to the discussion and questions!

We fine-tuned speech models directly with brain fMRI data, making them more brain-like.🧵

arxiv.org Brain-tuned Speech Models Better Reflect Speech Processing Stages... Pretrained self-supervised speech models excel in speech tasks but do not reflect the hierarchy of human speech processing, as they encode rich semantics in middle layers and poor semantics in...

If you are attending @iclr_conf, come check out our poster on brain-tuning, a work where we show that fine-tuning speech models with brain data improves their semantic understanding and downstream performance!

We are so excited to share the first work that demonstrates consistent downstream improvements for language tasks after fine-tuning with brain data!!
