In this assignment, groups of 3 students will be required to prepare a 20-minute presentation video on an article from the brain-inspired AI literature. A list of potential papers is provided below, but students may request other papers if they wish (though the choice must be approved by the instructor if you do not select one of the papers below). I will leave it up to you to pick your groups, and the paper you want to present. However, note that you must decide your group and paper by February 12 and email me your decision. Anyone without a group and/or paper by this date will have them assigned.
The presentation must be done using slides, but you can make it using any recording device, editing software, etc. It could even just be a recording from your phone. The only requirement is that you submit a video in a standard video file format (e.g. avi, mp4, mov, etc.) by uploading it to myCourses. The presentation cannot be more than 20 minutes—you will lose marks if it is!!!! You are not required to show anyone’s face in the video, only slides must be visible, but your voices must be audible. Also, it is important that all 3 students participate and speak. In terms of instructions, the presentation can be structured as you wish, but it must answer the four following questions:
Q1) Background
What is the gap in AI capabilities that the paper is attempting to address, and what neuroscience insights are they using to do it?
Q2) Results
What data, model and/or analyses does the paper present, and how does it help us to fill the gap in AI capabilities?
Q3) Limitations
Does the paper completely fill the gap you identified, or does it leave it incomplete? If it is incomplete, how so?
Q4) Future directions
What new questions does the paper raise and what should other researchers do to address them?
