Abstract:
The human neocortex participates in a wide range of tasks, yet superficially appears to adhere to a relatively uniform six-layered architecture throughout its extent. For that reason, much research has been devoted to characterizing a single “canonical” cortical...

CBMM is delighted to announce an industrial alliance with GE Software’s labs for advanced research.
At the heart of the Industrial Internet is the integration of analytics, intelligence, sensors and data with machines. And GE’s focus on predictive analytics is driving a more connected world of intelligent machines that can predict and prevent events – delivering outcomes that matter for customers, industries, and people with cleaner energy...

Long before the Internet, AI Memos were written at MIT by the pioneering people who were creating the new field of Artificial Intelligence at MIT. They were read by their local colleagues and by collaborators at Stanford, CMU, and other laboratories worldwide.
As soon as I (Tomaso) arrived to the US, I started to write AI memos, The first (in ’76) was the first version of the “level manifesto” (AI memo 357 by D. Marr and T. Poggio by the title “...
