There will be a presentation on the Research Thrust 5 “Theories for Intelligence.”
T. Poggio:

Thrust 5:  Theory is the common language between thrusts but it is not a goal in itself.  The CBMM challenge question what is there and m-theory

• Theory: Invariances reduce sample complexity
• Algorithm: how the ventral stream may learn/compute invariant features

Speakers:

• Qianli Liao  – Computational test: algorithm performs well in face verification
• Joel Leibo – Neuroscience test: algorithm is consistent with physiology of face cells
• Leslie Valiant – The neuroidal model: modeling how neural circuits are cumulatively learned
