Computational role of eccentricity dependent cortical magnification
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-06)
We develop a sampling extension of M-theory focused on invariance to scale and translation. Quite surprisingly, the theory predicts an architecture of early vision with increasing receptive field sizes and a high resolution ...
Representation Learning in Sensory Cortex: a theory
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2014-11-14)
We review and apply a computational theory of the feedforward path of the ventral stream in visual cortex based on the hypothesis that its main function is the encoding of invariant representations of images. A key ...
Learning An Invariant Speech Representation
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-15)
Recognition of speech, and in particular the ability to generalize and learn from small sets of labelled examples like humans do, depends on an appropriate representation of the acoustic input. We formulate the problem of ...
Can a biologically-plausible hierarchy e ectively replace face detection, alignment, and recognition pipelines?
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-03-27)
The standard approach to unconstrained face recognition in natural photographs is via a detection, alignment, recognition pipeline. While that approach has achieved impressive results, there are several reasons to be ...
