iSMART Talk – Brains, Minds, and Machines: Building Computational Models of Intelligence

Join us at 12:00 PM on October 10th online via Zoom or in-person at HEB 301/305 (Human Ecology Building) on the U of A campus. Registration is required for both virtual and in-person attendance. Zoom link available through registration.

Dr. Brokoslaw Laschowski is a machine learning researcher and computational neuroscientist. He is a Research Scientist and Principal Investigator at the University Health Network and an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto with appointments in Neuroscience and Mechanical Engineering. He also directs the Computational Neuroscience Lab, an interdisciplinary research lab focused on machine learning, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. His long-term vision is to develop a computational understanding of intelligence by reverse-engineering and building intelligent systems.

In this talk, Dr. Laschowski will present his research developing computational and machine learning models for studying intelligence. Examples include:

  • Deep learning models for visual perception
  • Decoding models that predict behaviour from neural representations
  • Reinforcement learning models for control and decision-making

If you are attending in person and would like to enjoy our complimentary lunch, please fill out our lunch form. To keep our iSMART Talks green, we request that you please bring your own water bottle.
