Here’s an interesting talk by Jeff Hawkings:
Bonne nouvelle! Je suis désormais professeur adjoint au Département de mathématiques et informatique du Collège militaire royal du Canada à Kingston!
Au fil des ans, plusieurs étudiants intéressés aux neurosciences computationnelles m’ont contacté via mon blogue pour me poser des questions sur les différents parcours académiques disponibles à Montréal. Plusieurs chercheurs m’ont aussi contacté à propos […]

You can now find the final version of my Ph.D. thesis (successfully defended) on my publications page.
I have been invited to the reinforcement learning workshop whose theme was “Sculpting Representation for Reinforcement Learning”. The workshop was great and I thank the organizers (Rich Sutton, Doina Precup & Eliot Ludvig) for their invitation. You can find my slides on the workshop website.

Enfin, comprendre, modéliser, ou reproduire la grande capacité d’apprentissage du cerveau demandera bien plus que le seul savoir des neurosciences, des sciences cognitives ou de l’intelligence artificielle. Il faudra intégrer les outils et les indices apportés par toutes ces disciplines pour élucider ce mystère. Dans cet ouvrage, les outils mathématiques issus de l’apprentissage machine […]

L’aspect le plus fondamental du système nerveux central, c’est que tout comme le reste du corps humain, on peut le décomposer en différents systèmes. Toutefois, ceux-ci, de par leurs interactions, forment un tout qui dépasse la somme des parties. Par exemple, le système digestif est important pour la survie, mais il est inutile si on […]
