    Researchers rebuild the bridge between neuroscience and artificial intelligence

    Advanced learning mechanisms of our brain might lead to more efficient AI algorithms. Credit: Prof. Ido Kanter, Bar-Ilan University The origin of machine and deep learning algorithms, which increasingly affect almost all aspects of contemporary life, is the learning mechanism of synaptic (weight) strengths connecting neurons in our brain. Attempting to imitate these brain functions, […] More
