In this talk we will propose a model for intelligence inspired by fluid dynamics. By modeling the dynamics of neural activity through a PDE, we achieve a number of interesting properties.

First, we observe that latent representations transform under sensory input transformations as waves, which are in turn well modeled as the evolution of a fluid. We can use this analogy to learn "disentangled representations" of the input, meaning that every input is embedded in a point in latent space which has associated to it a number of tangent directions in which the input transforms in prescribed ways (e.g. rotating, scaling, etc.). We can relate this to equivariant representations but for arbitrary transformations rather than symmetry groups. We show that this strong inductive bias can lead to the formation of topographic organization of neurons, and leads to good predictive performance. We also discuss the reverse, namely how to use deep learning to model PDEs better, in particular the Navier Stokes equations that model the weather. 

Coffee, tea and cookies will be served at 15:30h. After the colloquium we will have beer and pretzels.

The Network for Artificial Intelligence and Law (NAIL) invites you to its next event. We are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Michael Spannowsky to give a talk on the use of neural networks in particle physics. We will learn how neural networks are used to improve our understanding of fundamental scientific questions and how we use mathematical structures observed in nature to better understand neural networks. The lecture will be followed by a discussion around the topic. The event will be held in English.

After the lecture and discussion, we would like to invite you to end the evening with us in a relaxed atmosphere, with pretzels and wine in the south lounge.

You can participate in presence or online. Please register for the event using the following link: Registration
