Connectionist Models Summer School

Binocular depth perception, or stereopsis, depends on matching corresponding points in two images taken from two vantage points. In random-dot stereograms the features to be matched are individual pixels. We have used the recurrent backpropagation learning algorithm of Pineda (1987) to construct network models with lateral and feedback connections that can solve the correspondence problem for r...

ICCL Summer School 2008

Jüngste Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, dass das menschliche Schlussfolgern wohl doch „logischer“ ist als lange Zeit angenommen wurde. Hierdurch motiviert boten neun Dozenten den Teilnehmern der ICCL Summer School ein inhaltlich tiefgreifendes und gleichzeitig vielseitiges Programm an Theorie-Tutorien in den Bereichen der Kognitionswissenschaften und formaler Logik. Der zweiwöchige Zeitrahmen e...

Ricci curvature , entropy and optimal transport – Summer School in Grenoble 2009 – ‘ Optimal Transportation : Theory and Applications

These notes are the planned contents of my lectures. Some parts could be only briefly explained or skipped due to the lack of time or possible overlap with other lectures. The aim of these lectures is to review the recent development on the relation between optimal transport theory and Riemannian geometry. Ricci curvature is the key ingredient. Optimal transport theory provides a good character...
