• Abstract summary: Neuronal dynamics is driven by externally imposed or internally generated random excitations/noise, and is often described by systems of random or ordinary differential equations. It can be used to calculate such information-theoretic quantities as the mutual information between the stimulus and various internal states of the neuron. We propose two methods for closing such equations: a modified nonlocal large-diffusivity closure and a dataeddy closure relying on sparse regression to learn relevant features.

• Abstract: Neuronal dynamics is driven by externally imposed or internally generated random excitations/noise, and is often described by systems of random or stochastic ordinary differential equations. Such systems admit a distribution of solutions, which is (partially) characterized by the single-time joint probability density function (PDF) of system states. It can be used to calculate such information-theoretic quantities as the mutual information between the stochastic stimulus and various internal states of the neuron (e.g., membrane potential), as well as various spiking statistics. When random excitations are modeled as Gaussian white noise, the joint PDF of neuron states satisfies exactly a Fokker-Planck equation. However, most biologically plausible noise sources are correlated (colored). In this case, the resulting PDF equations require a closure approximation. We propose two methods for closing such equations: a modified nonlocal large-eddy-diffusivity closure and a data-driven closure relying on sparse regression to learn relevant features. The closures are tested for the stochastic non-spiking leaky integrate-and-fire and FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons driven by sine-Wiener noise. Mutual information and total correlation between the random stimulus and the internal states of the neuron are calculated for the FHN neuron.

  This study investigates the mechanisms by which large language models represent and regulate uncertainty in next-token predictions. Entropy neurons are characterized by an unusually high weight norm and influence the final layer normalization (LayerNorm) scale to effectively scale down the logits. token frequency neurons, which we describe here for the first time, boost or suppress each token's logit proportionally to its log frequency, thereby shifting the output distribution towards or away from the unigram distribution.

• Diffusion-based Quantum Error Mitigation using Stochastic Differential Equation [9.913187216180424]
  The random fluctuations that arise due to the interaction with the external environment cause noise affecting the states of the quantum system, resulting in system errors. This paper introduces a novel approach to mitigate errors using diffusion models. This approach can be realized by noise occurrence formulation during the state evolution as forward-backward differential equations (FBSDE) and adapting the score-based generative model (SGM) to denoise errors in quantum states.

  Our study uses a Fokker-Planck approach, adapted from statistical physics, to explore these parallels. We focus in particular on the stationary state of the system in the long-time limit, which in conventional SGD is out of equilibrium. We propose a new variation of Langevin dynamics (SGLD) that harnesses without replacement minibatching.

  Diffusion models have recently emerged as a powerful framework for generative modeling. We introduce a mathematically rigorous framework called Denoising Diffusion Operators (DDOs) for training diffusion models in function space. We show that the corresponding discretized algorithm generates accurate samples at a fixed cost independent of the data resolution.

On the one hand, it extends all the popular neural -- ordinary, controlled, rough -- differential equation models in that it is capable of processing incoming information. On the other hand, it extends Neural Operators -- recent generalizations of neural networks modelling mappings between functional spaces -- in that it can be used to learn complex SPDE solution operators.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
