Thrilled to share the conversation that @JamesJDiCarlo had with Anthony Philippakis and @awiltschko

[GV @GVteam]

How can deep learning further our understanding of human vision?

@MIT Professor @JamesJDiCarlo joins Anthony Philippakis and @awiltschko on the Theory and Practice podcast to discuss reverse-engineering human sight with #AI.

New piece from our colleague Daniela Rus

[Boston Globe Opinion @GlobeOpinion]

From Daniela Rus, director of @MIT_CSAIL: Universities founded centuries ago are the ones poised to tackle problems far enough removed from the market demands and day-to-day profit margins that drive industry’s shareholders.

Exciting research from @JamesJDiCarlo and colleagues

[MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences @mitbrainandcog]

Researchers have made an AI computer vision model more robust by training it to work like a part of the brain that humans and other primates rely on for object recognition.

A new computational model mimics humans’ ability to predict the emotions of others. It’s based on the idea that “the mental states underlying emotion are about what you wanted, what you expected, what happened, and who saw,” says Rebecca Saxe. https://t.co/6darGSd46W

@JamesJDiCarlo & collaborators are building an understanding of how brain processes images, and based on this research, they imagine a future where targeted visuals can improve physical and mental health. A recording of a TEDx talk at MIT is now available. https://t.co/9tZHugWnIQ
