Mentioned in the show:


Dan’s Stanford Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory:


The 2 papers we discuss


Performance-optimized hierarchical models predict neural responses in higher visual cortex


Learning to Play with Intrinsically-Motivated Self-Aware Agents




ImageNet as one of the most important things to stimulate research in AI, developed by these folks.


Ventral visual stream (as opposed to the Dorsal stream).


Retinotopy


Convolutional neural networks were inspired by Kunihiko Fukushima’s Neocognitron


2 modern of approaches to solve the ImageNet database:




Google’s NASNet architecture, with about 12 layers


Microsoft’s super deep ResNet.




Object permanence and some video examples


The distinction between the intrinsic motivation of Dan and colleagues’ AI agent and the reinforcement learning motivation of the OpenAI 5 team
