Can Machines Philosophize?

Michele Pizzochero, Giorgia Dellaferrera

Inspired by the Turing test, we present a novel methodological framework to assess the extent to which a population of machines mirrors the philosophical views of a population of h…

Intrinsic Biologically Plausible Adversarial Robustness

Matilde Tristany Farinha, Thomas Ortner, Giorgia Dellaferrera +2

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) trained with Backpropagation (BP) excel in different daily tasks but have a dangerous vulnerability: inputs with small targeted perturbations, als…

Forward Learning with Top-Down Feedback: Empirical and Analytical Characterization

Ravi Srinivasan, Francesca Mignacco, Martino Sorbaro +4

"Forward-only" algorithms, which train neural networks while avoiding a backward pass, have recently gained attention as a way of solving the biologically unrealistic aspects of ba…

Modeling the Repetition-based Recovering of Acoustic and Visual Sources with Dendritic Neurons

Giorgia Dellaferrera, Toshitake Asabuki, Tomoki Fukai

In natural auditory environments, acoustic signals originate from the temporal superimposition of different sound sources. The problem of inferring individual sources from ambiguou…
