Oh, update from Wikipedia “Alphabet-owned company Intrinsic acquired Vicarious in 2022. The AI and robotics divisions merged with Intrinsic, while the research division (including George) joined DeepMind.[4] As of 2022, George is a Research Scientist at DeepMind.”

His recent work is mentioned here too

Clone-structured cognitive graphs (CSCG)

I do not know if everyone is familiar with Dileep George’s paper Clone-structured graph representations enable flexible learning and vicarious evaluation of cognitive maps. In any case, he recently gave a seminar at the Simons Institute Space is a latent sequence: a unifying theory of representations and remapping in the hippocampus where he presented the main concepts in this paper. According to Dileep, Clone-structured cognitive graphs (CSCG)s offer a coherent explanation for place cells, pl…

Space is a latent sequence

Paper from DeepMind: Space is a latent sequence: Structured sequence learning as a unified theory of representation in the hippocampus … we provide a unifying principle that the mental representation of space is an emergent property of latent higher-order sequence learning. Treating space as a sequence resolves myriad phenomena, and suggests that the place-field mapping methodology where sequential neuron responses are interpreted in spatial and Euclidean terms might itself be a source of a…
