AI and the Brain Q& A - December edition

Dr. Scheler and A. Terlizzi from the Carl Correns Foundation for Mathematical Biology will offer a Ask me Anything Event on brain theory and AI. We'll cover the history of modern AI from one of its practitioners (Scheler) at TU Munich, Salk institute and early Neurips Conferences (1995-2005), including the relation to statistical physics, brain theory, and computational neuroscience, applications in vision, and language, LSTMs, GLUs, BERT and transformer architectures, the "phase transition" with superlarge databases, and projections into the future from neurosymbolic and brain-based tools, such as braincentric.AI. Andrea will join us as a doctoral student to explain about reservoir computing and the cortex, and why evolution is ahead of modern technology.
