Question (Curiosity) #1
• The input images are, by default, dense. Are there firm scientific evidences that human brains process visual signals through a sparse and low-rank mechanism?
• If so, then do we know, at which layer, an input image becomes a sparse signal: retina, V1, V2, V4…?
Question (Curiosity) #2 • The talk mentioned Deep Learning as future work. Are there
more concrete thoughts & research plans?
• For example, will the current multi-layer invariant feature extractor be replaced by an automatic feature learner? How many layers are reasonable for this task? 10?
• Are there firm biological evidence that the human visual system functions as a deep architecture?
• If so, is there intuition why “human/brain computers” are so fast while deep learning can take months of GPU time?
Thank you and other questions from audience?
