February 7, 2014 - 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm Presentation: Research Thrust 2 – Circuits for Intelligence: Datasets and Metrics for the CBMM Challenge
Speakers: Prof. Gabriel Kreiman, Leyla Isik and Andrea Tacchetti
Abstract:
The performance of humans, computational models, or a population of neurons on a given task can be measured by single numbers such as ROC, but importantly, also by the consistency between their responses. For example, one can compare the correlation between the readout from a group of neurons and from a layer or module in a computational model.
In this meeting we will begin the important discussion of:
1) The various parts of an open database of videos and images to be used for the CBMM challenge over the next 5-10 years, and
2) Metrics that we will use to measure absolute performance of models, and their consistency with human behavioral performance and physiology.
We will discuss an example of preliminary work to compare model and human MEG performance on an action recognition task. In addition we will brainstorm datasets, metrics and related questions. The goal is to encourage a discussion about stimuli that can be useful to several groups at CBMM and have early feedback on the design of datasets and measurements to use.
