Sparse Representations in IT In the recording area in AMTS -- a specialized region for paperclips (!) -- we estimate that there are, after training,(within an order of magnitude or two) … • About 400 view tuned cells per object • Perhaps 20 view-invariant cells per object Logothetis, Pauls, Poggio, 1997

Spike Rate (Target Response)/ (Mean of Best Distractors) Invariances: Overview • Invariance around training view • Invariance while maintaining specificity Logothetis, Pauls and Poggio, 1995
Our quantitative model builds upon previous hierarchical models • Hubel & Wiesel (1962): • Simple to complex to ``higher order hypercomplex cells’’ • Fukushima (1980): • Alternation of “S” and “C” layers to build up feature specificity and translation invariance, resp. • Perrett & Oram (1993): • Pooling as general mechanism to achieve invariance
Model of view tuned cells MAX Riesenhuber and Tommy Poggio, 1999

Max (or “softmax”) • key mechanism in the model • computationally equivalent to selection (and scanning in our object detection system)
V1: Simple Features, Small Receptive Fields • Simple cells respond to bars • “Complex Cells”: translation invariance; pool over simple cells of the same orientation (Hubel&Wiesel) Hubel & Wiesel, 1959

An Example: Simple to Complex Cells “simple”cells ? “complex” cell
“simple”cells ? “complex” cell Simple to Complex: Invariance to Position and Feature Selectivity
3. Some predictions of the model • Scale and translation invariance of view-tuned AIT neurons • Response to pseudomirror views • Effect of scrambling • Multiple objects • Robustness to clutter • Consistent with K. Tanaka’s simplification procedure • More and more complex features from V1 to AIT
Testing Selectivity and Invariance of Model Neurons • Test specificity AND transformation tolerance of view-tuned model neurons • Same objects as in Logothetis’ experiment • 60 distractors
Response toPseudo-Mirror Views As in experiment, some model neurons show tuning to pseudo-mirror image
Robustness to scrambling: model and IT neurons Experiments: Vogels, 1999
Recognition in Context: some experimental support • Sato: Response of IT cells • to two stimuli in RF Sato, 1989
Recognition in Clutter:data How does response of IT neurons change if background is introduced? Missal et al., 1997
Recognition in Clutter: model • average model neuron response • recognition rates
Further Support: Keiji just mentioned his simplification paradigm... Wang et al., 1998
