Cours

Brain-style learning in neural networks

CS-479

Les réseaux de neurones artificiels sont inspirés par les réseaux de neurones biologiques, mais la version biologique ne peut pas utiliser l'algorithme backprop pour l'apprentissage. Ce cours montre le potentiel et les limites des algorithmes d'apprentissage qui sont plausible d'un point biologique.

Computational neurosciences: neuronal dynamics

NX-465

Nous étudions des modèles mathématiques de neurones et de réseaux de neurones d'un point de vue biologique et cognitive. La dynamique du cerveau est approximée par des équations differentielles et des processus stochastiques.
