@standehaene.bsky.socialNew AI models now show incredible math skill, solving problems that had stumped mathematicians for years. But what about basic geometric abilities? In our new paper in PLOS Computational Biology, we investigate this in vision models: doi.org/10.1371/jour... 1/8
Show PostFull paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour... Work done at @unicog.bsky.social. Big thanks to co-authors @theomorfoisse.bsky.social, @mathiassablemeyer.bsky.social, Yair Lakretz, @standehaene.bsky.social. 8/8
Show PostWhen children start school, how do their brains change to support learning of formal mathematics? Our new paper, with @standehaene.bsky.social, just out in PNAS, followed ~50 children with yearly fMRI scans over 3 years, from preschool to 2nd grade, to see how this network develops. 🧵
Show PostHi #CogSci2026 folks! Anyone into #compositionality #geometry and/or babies' minds? Karthika, an amazing PhD student from the lab is presenting some cool preliminary results. We use geometry as a case study for compositionality and program induction in babies. Do stop by her (virtual) flash talk!
Show PostRepresentations of geometric shapes have syntactic structure w/ @maxencepajot.bsky.social and @standehaene.bsky.social is out & open-access in JEP:General doi.org/10.1037/xge0.... For an overview, see thread below!
