Interpolating between sampling and variational inference with infinite stochastic mixtures
Richard D. Lange, Ari Benjamin, Ralf M. Haefner +1
Sampling and Variational Inference (VI) are two large families of methods for approximate inference that have complementary strengths. Sampling methods excel at approximating arbit…
Object Based Attention Through Internal Gating
Jordan Lei, Ari S. Benjamin, Konrad P. Kording
Object-based attention is a key component of the visual system, relevant for perception, learning, and memory. Neurons tuned to features of attended objects tend to be more active…
Augmenting Supervised Learning by Meta-learning Unsupervised Local Rules
Jeffrey Cheng, Ari Benjamin, Benjamin Lansdell +1
The brain performs unsupervised learning and (perhaps) simultaneous supervised learning. This raises the question as to whether a hybrid of supervised and unsupervised methods will…
