Neural Information Processing System

 HOSAKA Ryosuke
Purpose of class
The purpose of this lecture is to understand basic theories of the nervous system, especially neural networks, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian inference.
Course content
We have a brain and nervous system that processes information obtained from our sensory organs to confront the ever-changing environment. We also respond to dynamic environments by continuously rewriting our neural systems through learning. In this lecture, we will learn the methodology to understand the mechanism of the cranial nervous system from a computational approach.
Goals and objectives
  1. Can explain basic concepts and fundamental theories of neural networks
  2. Can explain basic concepts and fundamental theories of reinforcement learning
  3. Can explain basic concepts and fundamental theories of Bayesian inference
