The Indoor-Training Effect: Unexpected Gains from Distribution Shifts in the Transition Function

AAAI 2025technical

Is it better to perform tennis training in a pristine indoor environment or a noisy outdoor one? To model this problem, here we investigate whether shifts in the transition probabilities between the training and testing environments in reinforcement learning problems can lead to better performance u…

Benchmarking Out-of-Distribution Generalization Capabilities of DNN-based Encoding Models for the Ventral Visual Cortex.

NeurIPS 2024poster

We characterized the generalization capabilities of deep neural network encoding models when predicting neuronal responses from the visual cortex to flashed images. We collected MacaqueITBench, a large-scale dataset of neuronal population responses from the macaque inferior temporal (IT) cortex to o…

When Pigs Fly: Contextual Reasoning in Synthetic and Natural Scenes

ICCV 2021poster

Context is of fundamental importance to both human and machine vision; e.g., an object in the air is more likely to be an airplane than a pig. The rich notion of context incorporates several aspects including physics rules, statistical co-occurrences, and relative object sizes, among others. While p…
