This seminar will examine what is known about the statistical structure of natural visual and auditory scenes, and theories of how sensory coding strategies have been adapted to this structure. Topics include:

  • Theories of efficient and robust coding
  • ICA and sparse coding
  • Energy-based models: 'Product of experts' and 'Fields of experts'
  • Learning invariant representations through ‘slow feature analysis’
  • Manifold and Lie group models
  • Hierarchical models and ‘deep networks’
