Gabriel Kreiman

Gabriel Kreiman, Professor in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Boston’s Children’s Hospital, talks about how we can build smarter machines by capitalizing on our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying intelligent behavior in humans and other primates. He shows how behavioral, neural, and computational studies can together provide insight into how humans recognize objects that are partially hidden from view, and how we move our eyes around a complex scene as we engage in visual search. Dr. Kreiman also elucidates some remaining challenges in the study of vision: understanding the role of visual context in scene understanding, recognizing actions, and image captioning.
