Description

In this course, we will expand on vision as a cognitive problem space and explore models that address various vision tasks. We will then explore how the boundaries of these problems lead to a more complex analysis of the mind and the brain and how these explorations lead to more complex computational models of understanding.

Knowledge

  • Apply various models of human and machine vision and discuss their limitations.
  • Demonstrate the geon model of object recognition and its limitations.
  • Argue the benefits and drawbacks of the symbolist and visualist perspectives of mental imagery.
  • Recognize the single layer and multi-layer perceptron neural network models of artificial intelligence.
