How Do Neural Networks Grow Smarter? - with Robin Hiesinger

Neurobiologists and computer scientists are trying to discover how neural networks become a brain. Will nature give us the answer, or is it all up to an artificial intelligence to work it out? Watch the Q&A: Get Robin’s Book: Join Peter Robin Hiesinger as he explores if the biological brain is just messy hardware which scientists can improve upon by running learning algorithms on computers. In this talk, Robin will discuss these intertwining topics from both perspectives, including the shared history of neurobiology and Artificial Intelligence. Peter Robin Hiesinger is professor of neurobiology at the Institute for Biology, Freie Universität Berlin. Robin did his undergraduate and graduate studies in genetics, computational biology and philosophy at the University of Freiburg in Germany. He then did his postdoc at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and was Assistant Professor and Associate Professor with ten
