A goal of statistical language modeling is to learn the joint probability function of sequences of words in a language. This is intrinsically difficult because of the curse of dim...
Object identification—the task of deciding that two observed objects are in fact one and the same object—is a fundamental requirement for any situated agent that reasons about...
We study the problemof statisticallycorrect inference in networks whose basic representations are population codes. Population codes are ubiquitous in the brain, and involve the s...
There is strong evidence that face processing is localized in the brain. The double dissociation between prosopagnosia, a face recognition deficit occurring after brain damage, a...
Most computational engineering based loosely on biology uses continuous variables to represent neural activity. Yet most neurons communicate with action potentials. The engineerin...
