(note this one is Wed rather than Fri ...) September 21, 2022, 7AM-8:30AM PST: Dr. Alexander G. Ororbia "Brain-Inspired Computing: Going Beyond Backpropagation of Errors" ... Videoconference at: https://singularitynet.zoom.us/my/benbot ...
Description: "In this talk, I will discuss an emerging and promising sub-domain of statistical learning research known as brain-inspired computing, which focuses on developing artificial neural models and credit assignment algorithms that draw inspiration from what is currently known about the operation of biological neurons and human brains in general. Starting from the popular backpropagation of errors (backprop) procedure used to train modern-day deep neural networks, I will discuss its various biological criticisms and practical shortcomings to then turn towards backpropagation-free methodology, including processes such as recirculation, local representation alignment, contrastive Hebbian learning, wake-sleep, and predictive processing." -- Ben Goertzel, PhD [email protected] "My humanity is a constant self-overcoming" -- Friedrich Nietzsche ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tac4cdb240e809ed9-M3dbf02c505e995cb61fe38f2 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
