Stefano Soatto

Co-author, with Alessandro Achille and Matteo Rovere, of the paper that established critical periods in deep networks (2019), and Achille's collaborator on the earlier Information Plasticity / invariance work (Achille & Soatto 2018, JMLR) that the critical-periods paper builds on. Recurs across the same cluster as entity-alessandro-achille — the animal-only validation, the explicit disclaimer that the network is not claimed to be a valid model of biology, and the dissociation between the Fisher-Information critical-period signal and Tishby's Information-Bottleneck compression signal.
