Very glad you feel so Manuj

@iitjodhpur Very enriching session.

Conference will consist of talks by international (online) & national (in-person) experts, round-table discussion on the future of AGI research, & poster presentations & flashtalks by young participants. It promises to provide opportunities of networking across research groups.

Next- Gen AI: Inspiration from Brain Sciences conference aims to bring together researchers, across domains, for discussions on ideas towards the common goal of designing #AGI systems. #iitjodhpur #conference #network

(As I say at the beginning of the talk, I was a wee bit younger, when I got to visit Jodhpur in person in 2003..)

My talk at @naibs2023_IITJ @iitjodhpur on "Explanations & Explainability: Why Do Humans Care & How Should AI Systems Provide". This is a symposium on Brain Science & AI connections, and the ~20min Q&A at the end was quite interesting.. https://t.co/3Gc8x7yFLo

@sparuniisc @rao2z @dynamicdip @saide_iitj @iitjodhpur @dipsankarb @rohanpaul from @iitdelhi spoke about AI in the context of Robotics

@sparuniisc @rao2z @dynamicdip @saide_iitj @iitjodhpur @dipsankarb @rohanpaul @iitdelhi Amit Bhardwaj from @iitjodhpur gave a nice talk on Haptics.

Very interesting, interactive and enthusiastic talk by @VenkRamaswamy on understanding brain and deep Networks at @naibs2023_IITJ @saide_iitj @iitjodhpur @neeraj_4a41494e #nextgenAI #brain #cognitiveneuroscience #connectome

@sparuniisc @rao2z @dynamicdip @saide_iitj @iitjodhpur @dipsankarb @rohanpaul @iitdelhi Tommy Poggio @TomasoPoggio from MIT giving the closing talk !

@sparuniisc @rao2z @dynamicdip @saide_iitj @iitjodhpur @dipsankarb @rohanpaul @iitdelhi @TomasoPoggio Poggio's wager: AI for immortality

Next up, @ravi_iitm gave a nice introduction to Reinforcement Learning

Among other things @Plinz asked a more precise version of the "Is the brain a computer?" question that has so roiled this website .

Next up, Srinivasa Chakravarthy from IIT Madras spoke about their quest to build oscillatory deep neural networks.

Arjun Ramakrishnan @cognoman5 from IIT Kanpur spoke about anxiety disorders and their experimental studies of how they impact the act of foraging.

Santanu Chaudhury from IIT Jodhpur contemplated what next-gen AI ought to have, focusing on the role of context, grounding and semantics, drawing especially on human cognition.

Tapan K. Gandhi from IIT Delhi spoke about their work in restoring vision to congenitally blind children and more broadly about work having larger societal impact

Chhanda Chakraborti gave an important and thoughtful talk on the ethical questions that are arising due to the increasing success of AI.

@VenkRamaswamy @VenkRamaswamy described some fascinating challenges of interpreting large scale perturbations of neurons on behaviour. Live tweeting on behalf of @VenkRamaswamy since he hasn't yet learned to live tweet during his own talk 😜

Been a very informative and memorable experience attending Next-gen #AI Conference, Inspiration from #Brain #Science at @iitjodhpur organized by @saide_iitj The speakers and team have been fantastic!!
