7PM Learning Feature Hierarchies for Vision
This month we're very lucky to have Yann LeCun from Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Neural Science at NYU presenting "Learning Feature Hierarchies for Vision." Here's Yann's abstract: Intelligent perceptual tasks such as vision and audition require the construction of good internal representations. Theoretical and empirical evidence suggest that the perceptual world is best represented by a multi-stage hierarchy in which features in successive stages are increasingly global, invariant, and abstract. An important challenge for Machine Learning is to devise "deep learning" methods than can automatically learn good feature hierarchies from labeled and unlabeled data.
