Our next CIFAR Talks has been announced! Join us on April 24 (12-1 p.m. ET) for CIFAR Talks: Memory & the Malleable Mind Early critical periods of life, like childhood, are periods of brain plasticity with big implications for memory. How do we form and retain memories during these periods, and why does infantile amnesia take our earliest memories? Hear from leading CIFAR researchers as they discuss how childhood memory works and why it fades. Speakers: 🔹 Alison Gopnik, Advisor/Fellow, Child & Brain Development and Learning in Machines & Brains, University of California, Berkeley 🔹 Sarah Power, PhD, Child & Brain Development, Next Generation Trainee, Max Planck Institute for Human Development 🔹 Tomás Ryan, CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar 2020-2022, Child & Brain Development, Trinity College Dublin Hosted by Jennifer Moore Rattray, BA, MPA, ICD.D, CIFAR Board Director Moderated by science journalist Sara Reardon Don’t miss this fascinating discussion!

📊 An #exclusive Nature Portfolio analysis has named a paper co-authored by #CIFAR Distinguished Fellow Geoffrey Hinton, Alex Krizhevsky and Ilya Sutskever as one of the most cited research papers of the 21st century. "ImageNet classification with deep convolutional neural networks," published in 2017 at the University of Toronto, presents a network (later named AlexNet) that dramatically outperforms competing methods in image recognition tasks. The landmark paper helped spark the deep learning revolution — and is now the eighth most cited paper published this century. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/efUC5aMa #AI #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #CIFAR #ResearchImpact #GeoffreyHinton #AlexNet ------------------------------------ 📊 D’après une analyse exclusive réalisée par Nature Portfolio, un article coécrit par Geoffrey Hinton, membre émérite du #CIFAR, Alex Krizhevsky et Ilya Sutskever figure parmi les articles scientifiques les plus cités du 21e siècle. Publié en 2017 à l’Université de Toronto, « ImageNet classification with deep convolutional neural networks » présente un réseau (appelé plus tard AlexNet) qui surpasse de loin les méthodes concurrentes en matière de reconnaissance d’images. Cet article phare a contribué à l’essor de la révolution de l’apprentissage profond et se classe aujourd’hui au huitième rang des articles les plus cités publiés au cours 21e siècle. 🔗 En savoir plus : https://lnkd.in/efUC5aMa #IA #ApprentissageAutomatique #ApprentissageProfond #CIFAR #ImpactdelaRecherche #GeoffreyHinton #AlexNet

🧠 Memory formation during early childhood is a complex and fascinating process that researchers around the world are still exploring. The brain’s extraordinary plasticity in childhood plays a pivotal role in how we form, retain and even lose memories, and the phenomenon of infantile amnesia raises fascinating questions about learning, cognition and brain development. At #CIFARTalks: Memory & the Malleable Mind, Alison Gopnik (University of California, Berkeley), Sarah Power, PhD (Max Planck Institute for Human Development) and Tomás Ryan (Trinity College Dublin) will examine the factors influencing memory development, from childhood experiences to brain health and discuss why understanding these processes is so important for future breakthroughs in neuroscience. 📅 Join us on April 24! 🔗 Register now and secure your spot: https://lnkd.in/gYvpCCTN #CIFARTalks #MemoryScience #BrainHealth #Neuroscience #ChildDevelopment #CognitiveDevelopment
