Keynote: Learning from Machines
summary
Shows concrete visualizations from Inception deep dream gradient ascent and explains convolutional filters, receptive fields, and how gradient ascent produces hallucinatory layers; demonstrates GAN outputs of fake celebrities and their quirks while naming the training loop as GAN generator/discriminator and noting failures at global structure and counting; argues 5-HT2A binding by LSD amplifies cortical feedback (5-HT2A LSD receptor); cites a simulated rat-brain chunk and recommends recurrent, looped architectures over feedforward nets.
