 +    Conditional Neural Processes (CNP). ​ Like Bayesian methods such as 
 +    Gaussian Processes (GP), CNP learn how target distributions depend 
 +    on data, and can be conditioned on specific data points to infer 
 +    new target distributions at test time.  Unlike GP that are 
 +    expensive to train and scale poorly to high dimensions, CNP are 
 +    neural networks and are trained by gradient descent. ​ CNMP 
 +    leverage CNP to represent motion trajectories that can be 
 +    conditioned,​ at test time, on task paramters such as goal 
 +    locations, via points, and/or force readings. ​ Moreover, CNMP are

 +    and integrate feature items to group them into perceptual units 
 +    segregating them from other objects and the background. A 
 +    framework is discussed which explains how perceptual grouping at 
 +    early as well as higher-level cognitive stages may be implemented 
 +    in cortex. Different grouping mechanisms are implemented which are 
 +    attuned to basic features and feature combinations and mainly 
 +    evaluated along the forward sweep of stimulus processing. However, 
 +    due to limitations of local feature detection mechanisms and 
 +    inherent ambiguities,​ top-down feedback is required to deliver 
 +    contextual information helping to disambiguate initial 
 +    measurements. Feedback of contextual information is demonstrated 
 +    to improve object recognition performance,​ stabilize learning of 
 +    object categories, and integrate multi-sensory representations. 
 + 
 +    The canonical principles of neural computation define a set of

 +    solve complicated tasks much quicker. In the talk I will present 
 +    my steps into this direction. Starting from some general

 +    drive to do something and explore their behavioral 
 +    capabilities. Technically,​ this is achieved by considering the

 +    parts. ​ These are closely related to affordances;​ e.g., a handle 
 +    is a part whose function is to be grasped and that affords 
 +    grasping. ​ It is these affordances that robots need to detect to 
 +    perform tasks flexibly using unknown objects. ​ Since affordances 
 +    are often associated with parts, it makes sense for the 
 +    segmentation of unknown objects into parts for affordance 
 +    detection to be driven by known affordances. ​ Then, the 
 +    suitability of an object for a given task is often characterized 
 +    by the combination of the actions its various parts afford. For 
 +    example, to drive a nail into the wall you would like an object 
 +    that possesses a part that affords pounding and another that 
 +    affords grasping. ​ I will discuss methods that allow robots to 
 +    learn to segment objects in terms of their affordances,​ and to 
 +    learn the suitability of objects for specific tasks as a function 
 +    of their combination of affordances.</​blockquote>​</​td></​tr><​tr valign="​top"><​td>​2018-06-12</​td><​td>​Justus Piater, Simon Haller, and Olaf Köhler appear in the media: <a href="​https://​www.uibk.ac.at/​newsroom/​music-globe-und-cubeat.html.de">​
