What it is
Trains a fixed fruit-fly connectome to steer a simulated car from pixels, reaching 58/60 held-out traffic streets with no car collisions. Drive a simulated street using a measured 165k-neuron fruit-fly connectome with fixed wiring, trained by behavior cloning plus DAgger and persistent recurrent state.
Key results
- 58/60 held-out traffic streets completed, with no collisions with any car
- Persistent state raised first task success from 3/20 roads to 17/20
- Trains 25,728,319 constrained params in about 35 min on one H100
Shows a measured insect connectome can be trained as a large fixed-topology controller for closed-loop driving from pixels.
