In addition to an
excellent technical
program, attendees
and guests were able
to take advantage of
many sightseeing tours

or producing deformed offspring.
The effect of this massive reduction in
marine life can lead not only to enormous reductions in food supplies but
also to a significant increase in global
warming as a result of dying oceans
that cannot absorb much carbon from
the atmosphere.
In another plenary talk, Dr. Sheila
Nirenberg discussed how biological
signals that have been diligently extracted from the retina of mice can be
used to better understand how images
can be more efficiently represented
and processed by machines. This basic research has now found several
meaningful applications, including
developing better bionic eyes to assist
patients with certain types of vision
loss and establishing more intelligent
algorithms for several robotic and
navigational tasks.
Another unique feature of the conference was the founders forum organized by the current and several past
Society presidents. Several distinguished speakers talked about how
various disciplines in other Societies
had their foundations in SMC. In another keynote, Dr. Deng Li discussed
several recent advances in unsupervised deep learning.
A special panel, with Dr. Jay Kuo
as guest speaker and Dr. Irene Cheng
and Dr. Anup Basu as organizers,
discussed the need for mathematical
models for various learning methodologies. The organizers discussed strategies for going from the understanding
of human vision to the understanding
of human intelligence and developing
more theoretical models for various
types of human intelligences.
