Singleton Auditorium, Building 46-3002
Our sensory systems are unable to directly sense all the aspects of the world we perceive. For example, our perception of the world as three-dimensional (3D) is compelling, but our eyes only detect two-dimensional (2D) projections of our surroundings. Creating accurate and precise 3D percepts is critical for successful interactions with our environment, but how does the brain solve this inverse problem?

Quest Symposium on Robust, Interpretable AI
Singleton Auditorium, Building 46-3002
To advance further, deep learning systems will have to become more transparent. They will need to prove they are reliable, can withstand malicious attacks, and can explain their reasoning, especially in safety-critical applications like self-driving cars. The symposium will feature faculty talks, a poster session and refreshments.

Singleton Auditorium (MIT 46-3002)
43 Vassar Street, Cambridge MA 02139
The existence of feedforward and feedback neural connections between areas in the primate visual cortical hierarchy is well known. While there is a general consensus for how feedforward connections support the sequential stages of visual processing for tasks such as object recognition, the computational functions of feedback for recognition and other tasks are less well understood.
