Study Notes
ImageNet Competition and Computer Vision
- ImageNet competition spurred advancements in computer vision.
- Models trained on a large dataset and evaluated on a separate test set.
- Top-5 error rate metric measures accuracy.
- Early models showed small improvements.
- AlexNet (2012) using deep neural networks achieved strong results.
- Deeper networks (2014) significantly reduced error rates triggering rapid use of deep learning.
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs)
- DNNs are "deep" due to multiple layers enabling reuse of expressions.
- Layers extract increasingly complex features.
- Early layers detect simple features (edges, textures).
- Deeper layers detect more complex features (shapes, objects).
- Richer representations generalize better.
Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets)
- ConvNets overcome traditional neural networks' limitations.
- Traditional neural nets have only one hidden layer.
- ConvNets use multiple hidden layers for better generalization.
- Gradual transformation of input to output via hierarchical feature extraction.
- Improved generalization ability.
Convolutional Layer Properties
- Receptive field size: Input patch size processed by one neuron (width x height pixels).
- Depth: Number of filters (each learns a specific feature).
- Activation map: Output of input image after applying a kernel (filter).
- Weights: Filters have weights determined by the receptive field size.
- Number of receptive fields: Total neurons (receptive fields) in the feature map.
Local Filters (Kernels)
- Kernels operate on small input regions (receptive fields) to extract features.
- Each kernel learns efficient patterns.
Benefits of Priors in Learning
- ConvNets incorporate locality priors (local patterns).
- Inspiration from visual system (neurons process local patterns).
- Inductive bias reduces computational load.
- Faster and more efficient learning, requiring fewer samples.
Brain vs. Computer Architecture
- Brain: Slow conduction speed, low energy consumption, massively parallel processing
- Computers: Fast transduction, massive energy usage, massively serial processing
- DNNs bridge the gap by integrating memory and processing in weights (analogous to synapses).
GOFAI vs. Statistical Learning
- GOFAI: Symbolic reasoning, explicit rules, excels at planning and logic.
- Statistical Learning: Numerical optimization, (DNNs), excels at pattern recognition, is a black box.
DNNs and Linking Brain Behavior
- Physical shape: low-level details.
- Perceived shape: high-level, abstract representations.
- DNN layers reflect this hierarchical processing.
- Early layers correspond to physical shapes; deeper layers to perceived shapes.
- Mirror human visual processing.
DNN Families
- Cornet family: Mimics ventral visual stream and feedforward processing.
- ResNet family: Utilizes residual connections for very deep networks and mimics recurrent processing.
Feedforward vs. Recurrent Processing in Object Detection
- Feedforward: Rapid object detection, single pass, input to output.
- Recurrent: Feedback loops, crucial for complex tasks (e.g., scenes).
- Backward masking interrupts further processing to study recurrent effects.
- Simple scenes use feedforward processing; complex scenes rely on recurrent processing.
Networks and Behaviour
- ResNet networks align with human behavior in unmasked conditions, and shallow networks in masked ones.
- Cornet align with masked conditions.
DNNs and Human Brain Comparisons
- Similar stimuli (e.g., faces) yield similar activation patterns.
- Dissimilar stimuli (e.g., face vs house) yield distinct activation patterns.
- DNN layers align with levels of brain areas (V1, IT cortex).
- DNNs may reflect hierarchical structure of human visual processing.
Using DNNs in Research
- A framework for studying DNNs (e.g., Measuring brain data, measuring model data, comparing outcomes).
- Use DNNs as models in animal experiments
Differences between Physical and Behavioral Sciences
- Physical: Interpretation and prediction closely aligned, simple formulas describe phenomena.
- Behavioral: Large gap between theory and tasks, interpretation and prediction may not quite match.
Critique of DNNs as Behavioural Models
- DNNs often lack cognitive understanding.
- They simply replace one black box (brain) with another (DNN).
- Cloning a system (with accurate replication) may lead to few insights into actual understanding.
DNNs as Alternative Behavioural Models
- DNNs can predict real-world behavior and can be useful tools for scientists with limitations to study and potentially control complex systems, like predicting behaviors.
How to Use Neural Networks as Models
- How the brain computes (mechanisms, circuits, operations).
- What the brain computes (abstractions, representations, statistics).
- Why the brain computes the way it does (learning, goals, organization).
