Working Memory (WM) is a core component of Executive Control. “Working memory is a short-term repository for task-relevant information that is…
This month’s reading list continues with a subtheme on recurrent neural networks, and in particular Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). First here’s an interesting report on a panel discussion about the future of Deep Learning at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2015: http://deeplearning.net/2015/07/13/a-brief-summary-of-the-panel-discussion-at-dl-workshop-icml-2015/ Participants included Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal), Neil Lawrence (University…
John Lisman, “The Challenge of Understanding the Brain: Where We Stand in 2015“, Neuron, 2015 For many in ML and AI, biological knowledge is focussed on cortex. This paper gives an excellent broad overview of current biological understanding of intelligence.
