Scientists use A.I.-generated images to map visual functions in the brain

Researchers have demonstrated the use of AI-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain. The goal is to apply a data-driven approach to understand how vision is organized while potentially removing biases that may arise when looking at responses to a more limited set of …

Normal Bayes Classifier for Image Segmentation Using OpenCV

The Naive Bayes algorithm is a simple but powerful technique for supervised machine learning. Its Gaussian variant is implemented in the OpenCV library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply OpenCV’s normal Bayes algorithm, first on a custom two-dimensional dataset and subsequently for segmenting an image.   After completing this tutorial, you will …

Agnostically Learning Single-Index Models using Omnipredictors

We give the first result for agnostically learning Single-Index Models (SIMs) with arbitrary monotone and Lipschitz activations. All prior work either held only in the realizable setting or required the activation to be known. Moreover, we only require the marginal to have bounded second moments, whereas all prior work required stronger distributional assumptions (such as …
