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).

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.

Attention Schema in Neural Agents

Attention has become a common ingredient in deep learning architectures. It adds a dynamical selection of information on top of the static s… (voir plus)election of information supported by weights. In the same way, we can imagine a higher-order informational filter built on top of attention: an Attention Schema (AS), namely, a descriptive and predictive model of attention. In cognitive neuroscience, Attention Schema Theory (AST) supports this idea of distinguishing attention from AS. A strong prediction of this theory is that an agent can use its own AS to also infer the states of other agents' attention and consequently enhance coordination with other agents. As such, multi-agent reinforcement learning would be an ideal setting to experimentally test the validity of AST. We explore different ways in which attention and AS interact with each other. Our preliminary results indicate that agents that implement the AS as a recurrent internal control achieve the best performance. In general, these exploratory experiments suggest that equipping artificial agents with a model of attention can enhance their social intelligence.
