[CTN] CTN seminar: Joel Zylberberg (York): 3:30 Tuesday March 12, E5-6111

[Bryan Tripp]

Hi everyone,

Please join us for the next CTN seminar with Joel Zylberberg, who was
previously at University of Colorado and recently moved to York University.
The title and abstract follow.

Regards,
Bryan


(Learning) Visual Representations

Visual stimuli elicit action potentials in the retina, that propagate to
the brain, where further action potentials are elicited. What is the
language of this signalling? In other words, how do patterns of action
potentials in each neural circuit correspond to stimuli in the outside
world? The first part of this talk will highlight recent work from my
laboratory that confronts this problem in the retina and visual cortex.
Next, I will discuss on-going work that asks how those representations are
learned. Specifically, I will highlight a joint theory-experiment research
program that investigates whether and how the brain's visual neural
circuits implement the same kinds of learning algorithms as are found in
modern artificial intelligence systems.
