arXiv:2603. 01568v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Efficient coding theory predicts that biological perceptual systems compress sensory input optimally under resource constraints, with the systematic structure of errors reflecting the geometry of that compression.

Understanding the relationship between deep visual representations and the human visual system is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience. While modern vision models achieve strong performance in image recognition, their correspondence with the hierarchical organization of the human visual cortex remains an open question.
arXiv:2607. 15693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe a model of perceptual inference in primary visual cortex (V1) equivalent to a minimal diffusion model whose function can be readily understood from its parameters.

arXiv:2608. 01821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion vision-language models (dVLMs) iteratively denoise masked responses while conditioning each denoising step on visual evidence, making visual conditioning a substantial recurring inference cost.
