ABSTRACT: Activity patterns of neural populations in the brain constitute representations of sensory stimuli and internal states. The nature of these representations and how they are learned are key questions in neuroscience. In this talk, Dr. Pehlevan will describe his research group’s efforts in building a theory of sensory representations as feature maps leading to efficient function approximation. Dr. Pehlevanwill also describe efficient and biologically-plausible learning algorithms of how the brain may learn such representations, and discuss the applications of these algorithms to neuromorphic computing.
