May 1, 2025

May 2025 performance summary focused on delivering scalable file handling capabilities across two core brain-score repositories, enabling larger data submissions and streamlined file loading for research workflows.

March 2025

1 Commits

Mar 1, 2025

March 2025 focused on improving the robustness and maintainability of the brain-score/vision model registry by removing an unused/deprecated model (cornet_s_ynshah). This cleanup involved deleting the model implementation and all related files (initialization, model definition, setup, tests), consolidating the registry to active models, and mitigating potential misconfig and drift. The change aligns with the deprecation strategy and reduces ongoing maintenance risk. Commit reference captured: 6ab2695f8f7197f9048349af3941a73617db358f (Remove yash cornets (#1817)).

January 2025 monthly summary focused on expanding benchmarking capabilities in the brain-score vision stack and stabilizing deployment infrastructure.

December 2024

3 Commits • 1 Features

Dec 1, 2024

December 2024: Delivered a centralized storage migration for Brain Score Vision, consolidating datasets, model weights, and benchmarks into the brain-score-storage S3 bucket and standardizing versioning (version_id=null). This centralized storage reduces path fragmentation, minimizes data-loading failures, and improves long-term maintainability for data pipelines across Brain Score Vision.

Nov 1, 2024

Month: 2024-11 — Focus on codebase hygiene and maintainability for brain-score/vision. Delivered a non-functional maintenance task: corrected a misspelled folder name and propagated file renames across the repository. This aligns with naming conventions, improves readability, and reduces onboarding friction. No user-facing feature changes this month; the work reduces future maintenance risk and lays groundwork for safer refactors.
