vision reconstruction
Bookmarked 392 weeks ago
using hollywood movie trailers uc berkeley researchers have succeeded in decoding and reconstructing people039s dynamic visual experiences the brain activity recorded while subjects viewed a set of film clips was used to create a computer program that learned to associate visual patterns in the movie with the corresponding brain activity the brain activity evoked by a second set of clips was used to test the movie reconstruction algorithm this was done by feeding 18 million seconds of random youtube videos into the computer program so that it could predict the brain activity that each film clip would most likely evoke in each subject using the new computer model researchers were able to decode brain signals generated by the films and then reconstruct those moving images eventually practical applications of the technology could include a better understanding of what goes on in the minds of people who cannot communicate verbally such as stroke victims coma patients and people with neurod

in the spring summer term of 2014 nine students got together at the university of tbingen germany to enhance and further develop the mario ai presented in this video under our supervision interfaced with the java-based mario simulation mario can only execute those actions that also a normal player could execute mario starts off with a predictive model of his action effects when walking on solid ground and when jumping any other effects such as bumping into things increasing his coin count decreasing his health etc are registered as novel events and are recorded into a schema-based condition-action-effect knowledge base driven by his internal curiosity drive of getting to know his world ie generating novel rules or verifying already learned rules about object interactions mario explores and learns about the effects of his interactions with objects in his world to be able to reach objects at all his a-based planning capability was strongly improved eg optimization of cost-to-go heuristic inclusion of reachability constraints from jump points moreover his internal e-motive state was enhanced with various motivational and emotional drives including hunger for coins fear for loosing strength curiosity for enhancing his knowledge base and happiness finally and probably most intriguingly the group enhanced the program with speech interfaces parsing grammatical sentences and generating grammatical sentences this was surprisingly straightforward by associating particular terms to marios inner states to marios schema-based knowledge base and to marios behavioral capabilities thus generating and understanding sentences about his internal states and potential interaction with the environment the highly enthusiastic group generated a fully functional program exceeded our expectations by far and managed to generate an adaptive learning mario ai program which may be said to constitute an alive and somewhat intelligent artificial agent the mario lives video describes the main features of the program and highlights marios e-motive planning and conversational capabilities
