PHS
MACHINE LEARNING LECTURE SERIES
DEEP LEARNING AND COGNITION Christopher Manning Stanford University Deep learning, which is the reemergence of artificial neural networks, has recently succeeded as an approach towards artificial intelligence. In many fields, including computational linguistics, deep learning approaches have largely displaced earlier machine learning approaches, due to the superior performance they provide. In this public lecture, Christopher Manning will discuss some of the results in computer vision, speech, and language which support the preceding claims. Manning will also explore bigger questions including why and how deep learning methods manage to be so successful, what new perspectives they suggest about human cognition and the language of thought, and what opportunities exist for deep learning to move beyond its core successes on sensory perception and classification tasks to be a broader tool for artificial intelligence.
Wednesday, November 15 5:00 p.m. Wolfensohn Hall Institute for Advanced Study This lecture is free and open to the public, but registration required.
