Res.9-003 Brains, Minds and Machines

Res.9-003 Brains, Minds and Machines (Summer 2015, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Tomaso Poggio (Course Director, MIT) and Prof. Gabriel Kreiman (Course Director, Harvard). This course explores the problem of intelligence - its nature, how it is produced by the brain and how it could be replicated in machines - using an approach that integrates cognitive science, which studies the mind; neuroscience, which studies the brain; and computer science and artificial intelligence, which study the computations needed to develop intelligent machines.

Lecture 25 - Andrei Barbu - From Language to Vision and Back Again

Instructor: Andrei Barbu. Using higher level knowledge to improve object detection, language-vision model that simultaneously processes sentences and recognizes image objects and events, performing tasks like image/video retrieval, generating descriptions, and question answering.
