More than an actual talk, this will be an informal exchange on the theme of "A potential paradigm shift in vision search." Active participation is warmly welcomed. This is an internal event, meant for SCIoI members only.

Patients suffering from schizophrenia are less susceptible to various perceptual illusions (and to some hallucinations, too) than most healthy individuals. Yet, schizophrenia patients’ perception-forming processes have been characterised as aberrant, as producing false inferences and irrational mental states. This characterisation is consistent with the idea that perceptual experiences and processes can be appraised as rational

Abstract: We typically have a clear idea about the final design and functionality of a robot before we start building it. We apply this top-down design approach to a wide range of robotic systems and it allows our robots to be more optimized, autonomous, and programmable. However, if we want to design and actuate multiple

Ecologically rational decision making How do we make inferences about a world full of uncertainty and given the mind’s natural bounds in computational abilities? I present a perspective according to which the decision maker is equipped with a repertoire of strategies, containing both simple heuristics and more complex strategies that are adaptive under different ecological

Abstract: Deep neural networks underlie many state of the art solutions to hard problems in computer vision, natural language processing or playing Go. Yet, their power comes with a price. Deep networks transform inputs gradually into outputs, using many parameters and intermediary activations. Understanding what a network has learned, how inputs are mapped to outputs,
