Krasnow Institute > Monday Seminars > Abstracts Brain and Machines: Dr. Tomaso Poggio Learning is becoming the central problem in trying to understand intelligence and in trying to develop intelligent machines. I will outline some of our recent efforts in the domain of vision to develop machines that learn and to understand brain mechanisms of learning. I will describe systems that learn to recognize objects, in particular faces; systems that learn to find specific objects in cluttered scenes; and software that learns to draw cartoon characters from an artist's drawings and produce new images from a few real pictures. In particular, we have developed a trainable object detection architecture that succeeds in learning a sparse representation from an overcomplete set of Haar wavelets to perform difficult object detection tasks. In the area of neuroscience, we have developed a model that predicts several properties of IT neurons in monkeys trained to recognize specific objects.
