Brains@Bay – The Role of Active Dendrites in Learning
In this meetup, we focus on the role of active dendrites in learning from a neuroscience and a computational perspective. We invited Matthew Larkum (Larkum Lab), Ilenna Jones (Kording Lab) and Blake Richards (Linc Lab) to present their views on the role of active dendrites in machine learning.
Brains@Bay – Lateral Connections in the Neocortex
In this special edition we focus on the function of lateral connections (connections between neurons within a level). Long-range lateral connections are ubiquitous in the neocortex and cannot be explained by pure feedforward models. We have invited researchers from the Allen Institute for Brain Science to discuss their recently published paper on modeling these connections.
Brains@Bay – Predictive Processing in Brains and Machines
Brains@Bay Meetups are designed to bring together the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Speakers for this meetup have been selected from each discipline to provide unique views of the topic of Predictive Processing.
Numenta 2020: A Year in Review, The Decade Ahead | A Conversation with Jeff Hawkins and Subutai Ahmad
Christy Maver, VP Marketing, sits down with Jeff Hawkins, Co-Founder, and Subutai Ahmad, VP Research, and asks them to reflect on the previous year while making predictions about the coming decade.
Brains@Bay – Hebbian Learning in Neural Networks
Welcome to another session of Brains@Bay! This time we will be talking about Hebbian Learning, the main mechanism used by the brain to learn new experiences.
Brains@Bay – Sparsity in Neural Networks
We have 4 presentations scheduled for this meetup that discuss brain-inspired machine learning algorithms related to sparse representations in neural networks.
