Invariant Representations in Vision
CoSyNe 2005 Workshop March -21- 2005. 8:00am-11:00am & 4:00pm-7:30pm. Organizers: Dileep George & Bruno Olshausen The goal of this workshop is to gain a better understanding on how the human visual system works. Given below are some examples of the sort of questions that we will be addressing as part of this workshop. Do brains use invariant representations? What is nature of those representations? How do we model the variations? How do we we represent transformations? What are the roles of different levels and streams in the visual cortical hierarchy? How can these invariants and transformations be learned? How do humans generalize? What is the role of hierarchy in the visual system? How is vision related to motion? How are the sensori-motor contingencies learned? What is the role of the dorsal stream? Can we build vision systems based on the principles of human vision?
