FEATURED RESEARCH
Algorithms for learning using only local and immediate credit assignment
High-order partially-observable sequences
Recurrent Sparse Memory (RSM) is an unsupervised method for simultaneously learning spatial and sequential structure in partially-observable high Markov order data streams
Fast (One-shot) episodic learning
Our Artificial Hippocampus Algorithm (AHA) can learn to generalize classes from a single instance, while still discriminating between instances of the same class - all without any provided labels
Research Strategy
We aim to discover new learning rules, architectures and representations by using computational neuroscience discoveries to guide our research
NEWS
- Feb 2021: We're excited to welcome 2 new Masters students from Monash Uni. Amir Mayan working on the Left and Right Brain project, and Mohit Gupta working on improving episodic memory with disentangled representations.
