"Human-level concept learning through probabilistic program induction" by Brenden M. Lake, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, and Joshua B. Tenenbaum has been published in the Dec. 11, 2015 issue of Science.
"For the first time we think we have a machine system that can learn a large class of visual concepts in ways that are hard to distinguish from human learners," said Joshua Tenenbaum
Prof. Sam Gershman (CBMM, Harvard) and Prof Noah Goodman (CBMM, Stanford) are helping organize this workshop. Abstract submission deadline: Oct. 28, 2015
Prof. Joshua Tenenbaum (CBMM Research Thrust Leader) and Tejas Kulkarni (CBMM Siemens Graduate Fellow) are helping to organize a workshop for NIPS 2015, the Workshop on "Black Box Learning and Inference". Abstract submission deadline: Oct. 2, 2015
Prof. Mark J. Schnitzer (Stanford) presented on Thursday Nov. 13 2015, in the Singleton Auditorium, MIT Bldg 46.
Prof Boyden was honored in recognition of his scientific research, specificaly for “transformative advances toward understanding living systems and extending human life.”
The award recognizes the outstanding achievements and contributions by a young neuroscientist who has recently received his or her advanced professional degree. The award will be presented during Neuroscience 2015, SfN’s annual meeting.
MIT news featured a new machine learning project by CBMM members and affiliates, including Charlie Fogner, Chiyuan Zhang, Tomaso Poggio, Hossein Mobahi, and Mauricio Araya-Polo.
