Can neurons speak? Semantic narration of vision at single-cell resolution
Identifying what individual neurons encode in higher-order visual cortex is an open problem. Responses resist intuitive parameterization, and the deep-network embeddings used in their place are black boxes. Here, we introduce NEURRATOR, a framework that decodes spiking activity into free-form natural-language narration of the viewed scene at single-neuron resolution. A learned encoder maps spike trains from arbitrary subsets of simultaneously-recorded neurons into the patch-embedding space of a…

Wikipedia and the Semantic Web: Celebrating 20 Years of Co-Development and the Future
In 2005, the very first papers proposed integrating Semantic Web technologies in the nascent Wikipedia ecosystem. This wasn’t just a convergence; it ignited two decades of mutual inspiration and benefit. From this crucible, the work in semantic wikis drew inspiration. Semantic MediaWiki, particularly, which found global adoption at Google, Microsoft, NASA, and beyond. Wikipedia became the bedrock for pioneering knowledge graphs, including DBpedia, Freebase, and Yago. These pivotal experiences…
