Presentation Transcript

  1. Bayesian Brain Presented by Nguyen Duc Thang

  2. Contents • Introduction • Bottom-up approach • Top-down approach • Vision recognition, brain computer interface (BCI), and artificial general intelligence (AGI)

  3. Introduction • Old dream of all philosophers and more recently of AI: • understand how the brain works • make intelligent machines T. Poggio “Visual recognition in primates and machines”, NIPS’07 tutorial

  4. Bayes rule K. Kording “Decision Theory: What "Should" the Nervous System Do?”, Science 26 Oct. 2007

  5. Bayes rule

  6. Free energy and brain Any adaptive change in the brain will minimize the free-energy, this is correspondent to Bayesian inference process: make prediction about the world and update based on what it senses Friston K., Stephan KE. “Free energy and the brain”, Synthese, 2007

  7. Two approaches of Bayesian brain • Bottom-up approach • How the brain works? • Top-down approach • Machine intelligence • When two approaches meet together?

  8. Bottom-up approach

  9. Bayesian population code - Single neural: the spike counts satisfy the Poisson distribution - A group of neural: decode the stimulus by Gaussian distribution Ma W.J.,Beck J., Latham P., Pouget A. “Bayesian inference with probabilistic population codes”, Nature Neuroscience, 2006

  10. Bayesian inference Sum of two population codes is equivalent to taking the product of their encoded distributions Beck J., Ma W.J., Kiani R., Hanks T., Churchland A.K., Roitman L. , Shadlen M.N., Latham P., Pouget A. “Probabilistic population codes for Bayesian decision making ”, Neuron, 2008

  11. Blue brain project

  12. Top-down approach • Machine intelligence • Is based on the Bayes theorem, build a probabilistic framework for one specific problem, and apply Bayesian inference to find solutions • Bayesian inference: belief propagation, variational method, and non-parametric method • Some journals: IJCV, PAMI, CVIU, JMLR

  13. Interesting results Automatically discover structure form, ontology, causal relationships Kemp C., Tenenbaum J. B. “The discovery of structural form”, PNAS 2008

  14. Related researches • Vision recognition • Brain computer interface (BCI) • Artificial general intelligence (AGI)

  15. David Hunter Hubel (born February 27, 1926) was co-recipient with Torsten Wiesel of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system

  16. Vision recognition

  17. Classify animal and non-animal

  18. Results Serre T., Oliva A., Poggio T. “A feedforward architecture accounts for rapid categorization”, PNAS 2007

  19. What is next: beyond the feedforward models

  20. Hierarchy Bayesian inference

  21. Brain-Computer interface (BCI) • A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain–machine interface, is a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external devices • Invasive BCI: direct brain implants restore sight for blindness, hand-control for persons with paralysis • Non-invasive BCI: EEG, MEG, MRI • Interesting results: research developed in the Advanced Telecommunications (ATR) Computational Neuroscience LAB in Kyoto, Japan allowed the scientists to reconstruct images directly from the brain and display them on a computer. Miyawaki Y., “Decoding the mind’s eye-visual image reconstruction from human brain activity using a combination of multiscale local image decoders”, Neuron Dec.2008

  22. Artificial General Intelligence (Strong AI) • Weak AI only claims that machines can act intelligently. Strong AI claims that a machine that acts intelligently also has mind and understands in the same sense people do • More information on the AGI conference 2009 • Prediction: singularity in 2045 • Two different opinions • I, robot (2004) Eagle eye (2008) • Cyborg girl (2008) Doraemon

  23. My opinion
