Building a Basis for Budgie Behavior
Ariel Feldman
Advised by Mert Sabuncu and Jesse Goldberg
Neural correlates of vocalization
Why can't we just watch them?
- Higher timescale and spatial resolution
- More data at a time!
- Budgie comfort
- Exact correlations

Supervision & why we don't want it
Supervised Learning
Unsupervised Learning
- Human labeled dataset
- Necessary for specifying output shape
- Throw unlabeled data into a network
- Want to uncover natural patterns in data
Unsupervised it is!
- Incredibly time consuming in preprocessing
- Time consuming to explore architectures
The pipeline
Identify patterns
Quantify distributions
Correlate with neural activity
