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 ...
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 ...
Neural tuning size is a key factor underlying holistic face processing
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2014-06-14)
Faces are a class of visual stimuli with unique significance, for a variety of reasons. They are ubiquitous throughout the course of a person’s life, and face recognition is crucial for daily social interaction. Faces are ...
