Knowledge transfer in deep block-modular neural networks

Alexander V. Terekhov, Guglielmo Montone, J. Kevin O'Regan

Although deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated impressive results during the last decade, they remain highly specialized tools, which are trained -- often from scratch -- t…

Learning abstract perceptual notions: the example of space

Alexander V. Terekhov, J. Kevin O'Regan

Humans are extremely swift learners. We are able to grasp highly abstract notions, whether they come from art perception or pure mathematics. Current machine learning techniques de…

Learning agent's spatial configuration from sensorimotor invariants

Alban Laflaquière, J. Kevin O'Regan, Sylvain Argentieri +2

The design of robotic systems is largely dictated by our purely human intuition about how we perceive the world. This intuition has been proven incorrect with regard to a number of…

Learning an internal representation of the end-effector configuration space

Alban Laflaquière, Alexander V. Terekhov, Bruno Gas +1

Current machine learning techniques proposed to automatically discover a robot kinematics usually rely on a priori information about the robot's structure, sensors properties or en…

Consciousness as a global property of brain dynamic activity

D. M. Mateos, R. Wennberg, R. Guevara +1

We seek general principles of the structure of the cellular collective activity associated with conscious awareness. Can we obtain evidence for features of the optimal brain organi…

Gaze Distribution Analysis and Saliency Prediction Across Age Groups

Onkar Krishna, Kiyoharu Aizawa, Andrea Helo +1

Knowledge of the human visual system helps to develop better computational models of visual attention. State-of-the-art models have been developed to mimic the visual attention sys…

Measures of Entropy and Complexity in altered states of consciousness

D. M. Mateos, R. Guevara Erra, R. Wennberg +1

Quantification of complexity in neurophysiological signals has been studied using different methods, especially those from information or dynamical system theory. These studies rev…

Towards a statistical mechanics of consciousness: maximization of number of connections is associated with conscious awareness

R. Guevara Erra, D. M. Mateos, R. Wennberg +1

It has been said that complexity lies between order and disorder. In the case of brain activity, and physiology in general, complexity issues are being considered with increased em…

The influence of infant-directed speech on 12-month-olds' intersensory perception of fluent speech

Claudia Kubicek, Judit Gervain, Anne Hillairet De Boisferon +3

The present study examined whether infant-directed (ID) speech facilitates intersensory matching of audio--visual fluent speech in 12-month-old infants. German-learning infantsâ au…

Subjective physics

Romain Brette

Imagine a naive organism who does not know anything about the world. It can capture signals through its sensors and it can make actions. What kind of knowledge about the world is a…

Space as an invention of biological organisms

Alexander V. Terekhov, J. Kevin O'Regan

The question of the nature of space around us has occupied thinkers since the dawn of humanity, with scientists and philosophers today implicitly assuming that space is something t…

Craniofacial reconstruction as a prediction problem using a Latent Root Regression model

Maxime Berar, Françoise Tilotta, Joan Alexis Glaunès +1

In this paper, we present a computer-assisted method for facial reconstruction. This method provides an estimation of the facial shape associated with unidentified skeletal remains…
