Mathilde Caron, “Self-Supervised Learning: How To Learn From Images Without Human Annotations”

On Zoom

Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) consists in training neural network systems without using any human annotations. Typically, neural networks require large amounts of annotated data, which have limited their applications in fields where accessing these annotations is expensive or difficult. Moreover, manual annotations are biased towards a specific task and towards the annotator's own biases, which

Henning Sprekeler (Science of Intelligence), “Harnessing Machine Learning To Model Biological Systems”

"Harnessing machine learning to model biological systems" Abstract: Classically, models of biological systems follow two different approaches. In bottom-up approaches, biological data are used to constrain a phenomenological model of the system in question, and the model is the studied to identify potential functions or potential consequences of the observations that flow into the model.
