SUMMARY:FDS Colloquium: Dan Yamins "A Fruitful Reciprocity: The Neuroscienc
 e–AI Connection
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dan YaminsAssistant Professor of Psychology and Comput
 er ScienceStanford University\n\n\nHosted by: John Lafferty\n\n\n\nIn-pers
 on event with remote access option via Panopto\n\n\n\nA Fruitful Reciproci
 ty: The Neuroscience-AI Connection\n\n\n\nAbstract: The emerging field of 
 NeuroAI has leveraged techniques from artificial intelligence to analyze l
 arge-scale brain data. In this talk\, I will show that the connection betw
 een neuroscience and AI can be fruitful in both directions. Towards “AI 
 driving neuroscience”\, I will discuss recent advances in self-supervise
 d learning with deep recurrent networks that yield a developmentally-plaus
 ible model of the primate visual system. In the direction of “neuroscien
 ce guiding AI”\, I will present a novel cognitively-grounded computation
 al theory of perception that generates powerful new learning algorithms fo
 r real-world scene understanding. Taken together\, these ideas illustrate 
 how neural networks optimized to solve cognitively-informed tasks provide 
 a unified framework for both understanding the brain and improving AI.\n\n
 \n\nBio: Dan Yamins is a computational neuroscientist at Stanford Universi
 ty\, where he's an assistant professor of Psychology and Computer Science\
 , and a faculty scholar at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute. Dan works 
 on science and technology challenges at the intersection of neuroscience\,
  artificial intelligence\, psychology and large-scale data analysis.\n\n\n
 \nThe brain is the embodiment of the most beautiful algorithms ever writte
 n. His research group\, the Stanford NeuroAILab\, seeks to "reverse engine
 er" these algorithms\, both to learn both about how our minds work and bui
 ld more effective artificial intelligence systems. Website: http://stanfor
