Generalization in ML: the indoor training effect
Jan 29, 2025 Is it better to train under noisy conditions to learn to generalize? New work by Serena Bono and Spandan Madan shed light on the mechanisms underlying generalization in reinforcement learning agents. This work led to discovering the indoor training effect whereby agents can improve their generalization performance under certain circumstances when trained… Read more

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… Read more
