Invited speaker

Alexander Mordvintsev

Researcher, Artist

"I like Emergent Phenomenas, Machine Learning, Computer Graphics and Vision. I like to visualize things. DeepDream is my most known creation. I'm working at Google Research on Deep Neural Network visualization, interpretation and understanding."

Talk: Title: Isotropic Neural Cellular Automata practice

Abstract: Rotation invariance is the fundamental property of physical laws, which is often omitted from NCA model design. In this presentation I'm going to talk about ways to bring rotation invariance back, challenges and implications.
