Memming Park from Stony Brook University will present his lab's recent work on machine learning for multi-scale interpretable modeling of neural dynamics.

Title: Learning structured neural dynamics from single-trial population recordings

Abstract: To understand the complex nonlinear dynamics of neural circuits, we fit a structured state-space model to noisy high-dimensional neural time series. We consider a multi-scale hierarchical generative model for the state-space dynamics to provide human understanding of complex dynamics as hierarchical composition of locally linear dynamical systems. We use Bayesian inference methods and an initialization strategy for both the posterior state trajectory and the posterior dynamics. The expressive power and interpretability of the inferred dynamics are evaluated for neural computation systems.

 

The talk will be based on these papers:

 

Nassar, J., Linderman, S. W., Bugallo, M. & Park, I. M. Tree-Structured Recurrent Switching Linear Dynamical Systems for Multi-Scale Modeling. ICLR 2019

Nassar, J., Linderman, S., Zhao, Y., Bugallo, M. & Park, I. M. Learning structured neural dynamics from single trial population recording. in 52nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (2018).

Adrian Jacobo from the Rockefeller University will present an application of deep learning to enhance fluorescence microscopy of live tissue, described in this Nature Methods article.

Abstract: Imaging of live biological specimens using modern microscopy techniques has revolutionized our understanding of cellular and developmental processes. Nevertheless, the high intensity of light used in these procedures often has a negative impact on the samples, producing light induced toxicity or other undesired effects. I will show how to use deep learning to achieve content-aware image restoration and circumvent or mitigate some of these problems. I will give examples the application of this technique to the zebrafish lateral line.

Saad Kahn from the Kelly lab will discuss geometric deep learning ,a set of techniques for machine learning on graphs and manifolds,with applications to cheminformatics, gene regulatory networks, and phylogenetic trees.

Saad will highlight the essential concepts following this review article and discuss this application to chemistry. Here is also a recent lecture at NIPS that gave an overview of geometric deep learning.

It is recommended that you check out those references in advance. Everyone is welcome to join and interact!

Ruben Coen-Cagli will discuss generative adversarial networks, a technique that can produce synthetic data that look realistic (e.g. images or speech snippets) and can deceive high-performing deep networks. He will focus on a new extension that can deceive deep convolutional networks and human observers in the visual domain.

Please find the main paper here

Also, the original paper that introduced adversarial networks is available here.

Wikipedia has also a very brief overview
