>
> A central goal of theoretical neuroscience is to develop methods
> that allow us to connect high-level hypotheses about brain function
> to specific, detailed neural mechanisms that can be compared to
> neural data. In this talk I will present the Neural Engineering
> Framework (NEF), which we have developed to address this goal. I
> will demonstrate how the framework relates to detailed physiological
> data, and how it aids the construction of complex, large-scale
> spiking neural models. I will discuss its application to
> perceptual, motor, and cognitive modelling using specific examples.
> Finally, I will provide a brief introduction to Nengo, the GUI
> software environment we have developed that implements
> the principles of the NEF.

Mon, Sept 18th @11h00

We start off the new academic year with a talk from Dr. Massih-Reza
Amini entitled "Learning from Multiple Partially Observed Views".
Speaker: Dr. Massih-Reza Amini

Location: Pavillon André-Aisenstadt (UdeM), room 3195
Time: September 18th 2009 at 11h00
Title: Learning from Multiple Partially Observed Views
Résumé: We address the problem of learning classifiers when
observations have multiple views, some of which may not be observed
for all examples. We assume the existence of view generating functions
which may complete the missing views in an approximate way. This
situation corresponds for example to learning text classifiers from
multilingual collections where documents are not available in all
languages. In that case, Machine Translation (MT) systems may be used
to translate each document in the missing languages. We derive a
generalization error bound for classifiers learned on examples with
multiple artificially created views. Our result uncovers a trade-off
between the size of the training set, the number of views, and the
quality of the view generating functions. As a consequence, we
identify situations where it is more interesting to use multiple views
for learning instead of classical single view learning. An extension
of this framework is a natural way to leverage unlabeled multi-view
data in semi-supervised learning. Experimental results on a subset of
the Reuters RCV1/RCV2 collections support our findings by showing that
additional views obtained from MT may significantly improve the
classification performance in the cases identified by our trade-off.
