在这个基础上，我们将开发大模型来推动“AI for Science”和“AI for Medicine”的研究。大模型凭借其强大的学习和推理能力，能够处理和分析海量的生物医学数据，发现隐藏在数据中的规律和模式，为生物医学研究提供新的思路和方法。通过大模型的应用，我们可以更深入地理解神经元网络的结构和功能，预测神经退行性疾病的发病机制，为疾病的早期诊断和治疗提供科学依据。

#Abstract
Understanding intelligence has long been a central pursuit in neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. It encompasses complex phenomena such as learning, problem-solving, creativity, and consciousness. While recent advancements in geometric analysis have shed light on the representation and organization of high-dimensional information in neural and artificial systems, a comprehensive framework that unifies the static and dynamic aspects of intelligence remains elusive. In this talk, I will introduce a novel mathematical framework based on Riemannian geometry that models both the structure and dynamics of intelligence and consciousness.
In this framework, elements of intelligence are conceptualized as tokens embedded in a high-dimensional space. These token embeddings capture the relationships between various scenarios and tasks, forming manifolds in the intelligence space. Thought flow is represented as the sequential activation of tokens along geodesics within these manifolds. Consciousness, as a self-referential process, perceives and evaluates the thought flow, providing feedback through prediction errors. These errors adjust the geodesic paths, restructuring the manifolds and facilitating learning. This dynamic interaction between intelligence and consciousness guides the evolution of their underlying geometry, offering new insights into both biological and artificial intelligence systems. This unified framework opens avenues for future research and empirical validation. Altogether, this framework can be summarised as “geometry dictates how consciousness navigates, while consciousness guides the evolution of geometry.”
