NTR organizes and hosts scientific webinars on neural networks and invites speakers from all over the world to present their recent work at the webinars.
On June 1 Dmitry Krotov, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, IBM Research, Cambridge, MA, USA, led a technical Zoom webinar on Modern Hopfield Networks in AI and Neurobiology.
About the webinar:
Modern Hopfield Networks or Dense Associative Memories are recurrent neural networks with fixed point attractor states.
In contrast to conventional Hopfield Networks, their modern versions have a very large memory storage capacity, which makes them appealing tools for many problems in machine learning and cognitive and neuro-sciences.
Mr. Krotov introduced an intuition and a mathematical formulation of this class of models, and gave examples of problems in AI that can be tackled using these new ideas.
He also explained how different individual models of this class, e.g. attention mechanism in transformers, arise from their general mathematical formulation.
