  • Successes and challenges in computational models of vision

    26Nov2024 Professor Kreiman gives a lecture at NUS National University of Singapore 6:30pm We now have powerful computer vision algorithms that can segment scenes, label objects, and recognize actions. It is tempting to use these algorithms as models of visual processing in biological brains. I will provide an overview of some of the successes in using neural network models to partially describe visual…
