If you missed #ccbm18, the vdo is now up. Great presentations on 🧠's #neuroscience #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence by the likes of @ylecun @anne_churchland @blaiseaguera @DeepMindAI Matt Botvinick @greg_corrado + others! https://t.co/AmhEyR4RHi #tech #thefuture
Had a serious case of 'fomo', so now I am even more excited about this #ccbm18 YouTube playlist. https://t.co/rPqCYoqDRp
This is awesome!! Hope that for every neuroscience conference there would be recorded talks posted on youtube. Well done #ccbm18!! https://t.co/jeCjgH2EiL
This time last week I was thinking abt the intersection of #neuroscience + #AI at #ccbm18. Today is all abt #privacy + #AI + #data at #BCLTPrivacy. Rather timely I think... #tech #law #society
Yesterday at #ccbm18, Josh Tenenbaum pointed out two seminal papers as the most important papers in the history of AI. Surprisingly and interestingly, one of them was “origins of knowledge” by Spelke et al (1992): a psychology paper on infant learning!
Upi Bhalla benchmarks the brain: electrical vs chemical computation
Time: ~1 ms vs 1s
# of zones/neuron: ~10 vs ~10000 spines
# of signals: 1 vs ~100
# of cells ~10^11 in both
Point: most of the computations in the brain are molecular

Kenji Doya has roles for different areas of the brain in action selection/learning:
Cerebellum: specialized for error-driven supervised learning
basal ganglia: reinforcement reward learning
cortex: unsupervised learning

Thanks to the orgs. of #ccbm18 for a great first conference. T. Movshon D. Heeger @anne_churchland @MatteoCarandini @ktlynd
Josh Tenenbaum shows a powerful overview of work on infant learning, teasing apart computations that are part of the human 'starting state' and those that are learnt - using intuitive physics (game engines) and psychology and new probabilistic programming languages #ccbm18
“AutoML - this is where it gets a little creepy...or interesting” says @greg_corrado @Google #ccbm18 #neuroscience #AI #DeepLearning #tech
Aparently the litmus test to identify neural network folks is if one can program backprop after three drinks. Challenge accepted #ccbm18
Talk title for @greg_corrado at #ccbm18: So you call yourself a ‘brain’ team? “Even though we call ourselves Google Brain, what we do has nothing to do with the brain”
Upi Bhalla: 30 micron sections of dendrites can carry out sequence discrimination - there is a huge number of molecules that may do the bulk of computation in the brain #ccbm18
Zach Mainen: the nice thing about serotonin is that you can frequently come up with an explanation or its opposite 🤔 #ccbm18
@zmainen: "Neuromodulators: canonical or quirky? Can we have depressed robots? Does that make any sense?" #ccbm18 #depressedrobots
As the talks resume after the lunch break, I can see multiple people dozing off. Can't help but think of Terry Sejnowksi's traveling waves. Someone get an EEG reading on these people! #ccbm18
