The goal of the meeting is to investigate advances and challenges in learning “good representations” from data, in particular representations that can reduce the complexity of later supervised learning stages. The meeting will gather experts in the field to discuss current and future challenges...

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

Abstract:
Algorithms are exposed to randomness in the input or noise during the computation. How well can they preserve the information in the data w.r.t. the output space? Algorithms especially in Machine Learning are required to generalize over input fluctuations or randomization during execution...

Animal behaviour arises from computations in neuronal circuits, but our understanding of these computations has been frustrated by the lack of detailed synaptic connection maps, or connectomes. For example, despite intensive investigations over half a century, the neuronal implementation of local...

CAMBRIDGE — The bold quest to build intelligent machines has, after more than half a century, brought us to this point: Scientists can build a “Jeopardy!” champion, but a child can handily outperform a computer when it comes to deciphering social situations, learning, or pretty much any activity outside the machine’s narrow band of expertise.
To change that, a group...
