To understand
how the brain actually works
|
|
|
|
– |
Its
very big and very complicated and made of yukky
|
|
|
stuff
that dies when you poke it around
|
|
|
| • |
To understand a
new style of computation
|
|
|
|
– |
Inspired
by neurons and their adaptive connections
|
|
|
|
– |
Very
different style from sequential computation
|
|
|
|
• |
should
be good for things that brains are good at (e.g. vision)
|
|
|
• |
Should
be bad for things that brains are bad at (e.g. 23 x 71)
|
|
|
| • |
To solve
practical problems by using novel learning
|
|
|
algorithms
|
|
|
|
– |
Learning
algorithms can be very useful even if they
|
|
|
have
nothing to do with how the brain works
