March 21-22, 2022, COSYNE workshops, Cascais, Portugal
Brain-Score and beyond
confronting brain-like ANNs with neuroscientific data
The stunning recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence have led to much speculation that these methods could reveal the answers to long-standing questions in systems neuroscience: about how interactions between brain areas give rise to cognition; about the functional objectives that shape the computations within our brains; and about the credit assignment mechanisms that enable learning in hierarchical systems. This two-day workshop will focus on 1) deep learning models from AI as theories of neural computations. 2) the 2022 Brain-Score competition as a specific real-world system for brain model evaluation and development.
