From Kalman filters to visual illusions! 🌀📉

Yesterday, Cycle 3 director Prof. Xaq Pitkow from Carnegie Mellon Univ took us on a mathematical journey. He discussed how optimal estimation can lead to perceptual biases.

A brilliant, interactive session.🧠

Week 3 is underway!🚀

On Mon, we kicked off the final cycle with a fantastic talk by Nyalleng Moorosi from the Distributed AI Research Institute.

She talked about the critical topic of inductive biases in neural networks. A perfect start to the week!🧠📉
