Welcome to the enthralling world of neuro-inspired deep learning! In this lab, we embark on a journey that draws inspiration from the intricacies of the human brain to enhance the capabilities of artificial intelligence. Deep learning has already transformed how machines perceive and comprehend the world, but by infusing neuro-inspired concepts, we aim to take this transformation a step further. We'll delve into architectures that mimic the hierarchical organization of neurons, fostering the discovery of patterns and features in data. Through our exploration, we'll unravel the magic behind neural networks, uncover the mysteries of sparse coding, and harness the power of recurrence. Join us as we bridge the gap between neuroscience and AI, paving the way for smarter, more adaptive technologies.
