In this vein, he is designing and building the first generative convolutional net, which promises to enable (1) the training of sophisticated deep vision models from large quantities of unlabeled data, and (2) the execution of top-down inference for tasks in which fine-scale information is important (e.g. segmentation, pose estimation). He is also working with visual neuroscientists to build a bridge between machine learning models and real neural networks, using the latter to make testable predictions about the former. And finally, he is working with physicists at the Large Hadron Collider to build efficient new algorithms to separate signal from noise, in search of New Physics beyond our best generative model of the Universe thus far -- the Standard Model of Particle Physics.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia Gulf Coast Consortium for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Neuroscience Baylor College of Medicine Assistant Professor Electrical and Computer Engineering Rice University
