Parts of the brain that carry sensory tasks are organized topographically: nearby neurons are responsive to the same properties of input signals. Thus, in this work, inspired by the neuroscience literature, we proposed a new topographic inductive bias in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). To achi…
Convolutional neural networks typically contain several downsampling operators, such as strided convolutions or pooling layers, that progressively reduce the resolution of intermediate representations. This provides some shift-invariance while reducing the computational complexity of the whole archi…
We summarize the accomplishments of a multi-disciplinary workshop exploring the computational and scientific issues surrounding the discovery of linguistic units (subwords and words) in a language without orthography. We study the replacement of orthographic transcriptions by images and/or translate…
