Q1 capstone project for DSC180A Section A08: Imitating Behavior to Model the Brain
Due to compatibility issues with running the source code in the terminal on the UCSD Data Science & Machine Learning Platform (dsmlp), but no issues with a Jupyter notebook on dsmlp, run.ipynb is being used as a substitute for a run.py file. This repository can be run by cloning it to dsmlp then running run.ipynb.
No additional data needs to be downloaded to run the source code. To avoid having to spend a few days training the model, a pretrained model is provided and downloaded within the source code from this Google Drive link
The goal for this project is to replicate the figures from and build upon a prior work — "Deep Neuroethology of a Virtual Rodent" (Merel et al., 2019). The file run.ipynb outputs the key visualizations from the replication process and can also be found in the accompanying paper.
