Biographie

Guillaume Dumas est professeur agrégé de psychiatrie computationnelle à la Faculté de médecine de l'Université de Montréal et chercheur principal du laboratoire de psychiatrie de précision et de physiologie sociale du Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine. Il est titulaire de la chaire IVADO IA en santé mentale et chercheur-boursier junior 1 du Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé (FRQS) dans le domaine de l’ IA en santé et de la santé numérique. En 2023, il a été retenu dans le cadre du Programme des chercheurs mondiaux CIFAR-Azrieli pour le programme de recherche Cerveau, esprit et conscience. Il a également été nommé parmi les Futurs leaders canadiens de la recherche sur le cerveau par la Fondation Brain Canada.

Il a auparavant été chercheur permanent en neurosciences et en biologie computationnelle à l'Institut Pasteur (Paris, France), ainsi que chercheur postdoctoral au Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences à l’Université Florida Atlantic (FAU), aux États-Unis. Il est titulaire d'un diplôme d'ingénieur en ingénierie avancée et informatique (École centrale Paris), de deux masters (physique théorique, Université Paris-Saclay; sciences cognitives, ENS/EHESS/Paris 5) et d'un doctorat en neurosciences cognitives (Sorbonne Université).

Ses recherches visent à combiner l’intelligence artificielle, les neurosciences cognitives et la médecine numérique à travers un programme interdisciplinaire suivant deux axes principaux :

- L’intelligence artificielle en santé mentale, par la création de nouveaux algorithmes pour étudier le développement de l'architecture cognitive humaine et pour fournir une médecine personnalisée en neuropsychiatrie grâce à des données allant du génome à celles des téléphones intelligents;

- Les neurosciences sociales en intelligence artificielle, par la traduction de la recherche fondamentale sur le cerveau et le formalisme des systèmes dynamiques en des modèles hybrides neurocomputationnels et d’apprentissage automatique (NeuroML) et de nouvelles architectures présentant des capacités d'apprentissage social (NeuroIA Sociale et IHM).

Brain function represents one of the most complex systems driving our world. Decoding its signals poses significant challenges, particularly… (voir plus) due to the limited availability of data and the high cost of recordings. The existence of large hospital datasets and laboratory collections partially mitigates this issue. However, the lack of standardized recording protocols, varying numbers of channels, diverse setups, scenarios, and recording devices further complicate the task. This work addresses these challenges by introducing the Brain Foundation Model (BFM), a suite of open-source models trained on brain signals. These models serve as foundational tools for various types of time-series neuroimaging tasks. This work presents the first model of the BFM series, which is trained on electroencephalogram signal data. Our results demonstrate that BFM-EEG can generate signals more accurately than other models. Upon acceptance, we will release the model weights and pipeline.
LLMs and Personalities: Inconsistencies Across Scales

This study investigates the application of human psychometric assessments to large language models (LLMs) to examine their consistency and m… (voir plus)alleability in exhibiting personality traits. We administered the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R) to various LLMs across different model sizes and persona prompts. Our results reveal substantial variability in responses due to question order shuffling, challenging the notion of a stable LLM "personality." Larger models demonstrated more consistent responses, while persona prompts significantly influenced trait scores. Notably, the assistant persona led to more predictable scaling, with larger models exhibiting more socially desirable and less variable traits. In contrast, non-conventional personas displayed unpredictable behaviors, sometimes extending personality trait scores beyond the typical human range. These findings have important implications for understanding LLM behavior under different conditions and reflect on the consequences of scaling.
Scalable Approaches for a Theory of Many Minds

A major challenge as we move towards building agents for real-world problems, which could involve a massive number of human and/or machine a… (voir plus)gents, is that we must learn to reason about the behavior of these many other agents. In this paper, we consider the problem of scaling a predictive Theory of Mind (ToM) model to a very large number of interacting agents with a fixed computational budget. Motivated by the limited diversity of agent types, existing approaches to scalable TOM learn versatile single-agent representations for quickly adapting to new agents encountered sequentially. We consider the more general setting that many agents are observed in parallel and formulate the corresponding Theory of Many Minds (ToMM) problem of estimating the joint policy. We frame the scaling behavior of solutions in terms of parameter sharing schemes and in particular propose two parameter-free architectural features that endow models with the ability to exploit action correlations: encoding a multi-agent context, and decoding through an abstracted joint action space. The increased predictive capabilities that have come with foundation models have made it easier to imagine the possibility of using these models to make simulations that imitate the behavior of many agents within complex real-world systems. Being able to perform these simulations in a general-purpose way would not only help make more capable agents, it also would be a very useful capability for applications in social science, political science, and economics.
Lost in Translation: The Algorithmic Gap Between LMs and the Brain

Language Models (LMs) have achieved impressive performance on various linguistic tasks, but their relationship to human language processing … (voir plus)in the brain remains unclear. This paper examines the gaps and overlaps between LMs and the brain at different levels of analysis, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond input-output behavior to examine and compare the internal processes of these systems. We discuss how insights from neuroscience, such as sparsity, modularity, internal states, and interactive learning, can inform the development of more biologically plausible language models. Furthermore, we explore the role of scaling laws in bridging the gap between LMs and human cognition, highlighting the need for efficiency constraints analogous to those in biological systems. By developing LMs that more closely mimic brain function, we aim to advance both artificial intelligence and our understanding of human cognition.
