主讲人简介:

戴琼海,1964年生,清华大学教授(信息学院&生命科学学院),清华脑与认知科学研究院院长、清华信息科学技术学院院长,中国人工智能学会理事长。近年来主要从事交叉科学的研究——脑工程与新一代人工智能的研究。研制完成了多维多尺度计算摄像仪器,旨在提供从亚细胞、组织到器官的多尺度动态观测数据,希望突破百万级脑神经连接的观测,揭示神经系统结构和功能等脑科学规律,为创建新一代神经计算方法(表达、转换和规则)提供支撑,为从脑科学到人工智能提供新的途径。

Born in 1964, Qionghai Dai is a Professor in Tsinghua University, and the director of the Institute of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at Tsinghua University (THUIBCS). Qionghai’s research centers on the interdisciplinary study of Brain Engineering and the next-generation Artificial Intelligence. He has built up various multi-scale multi-dimensional computational imaging instruments, aiming for the simultaneous multi-scale observation of dynamic structures spanning from organelles, cells, tissue, and organs. By developing advanced imaging techniques for the simultaneous recording of millions of neurons, he tries to understand the structures and mechanisms of entire neural circuits on various tasks at single-cell level, which can provide theoretical supports for next-generation neuromorphic computing algorithms (including expression, transform, and rules), as a new pathway from Brain Science to Artificial Intelligence.

This talk centers on the correlation of Brain Science and Artificial Intelligence. It starts with reviewing the contribution of brain science development towards the advances of artificial intelligence, followed by the breakthrough progress of artificial intelligence, especially the important applications of deep convolution neural network and Bayesian network in many research fields. It shows that the artificial intelligence has entered a new era of development. Secondly, it introduces the American, European, and Japanese brain science programs for the working mechanism of the human brain and the mapping of brain function, and the Apollo Project of the Obama Brain Initiative: Machine Intelligence of the Cerebral Cortex Network (MICrons), about how to design a cubic-millimeter brain in reverse to advance the intelligent computing. Thirdly, in view of the challenges of large-scale neural network observation and recording, it reviews the recent developments of high-resolution brain imaging system with wide field of view, and introduces the novel Real-time, Ultra-large-Scale imaging at high resolution (RUSH) macroscope. Finally, given the enlightenment of the structure of cerebral cortical neurons on deep convolution neural networks, it explores how to promote the development of artificial intelligence through the combination of neuroscience and data science under the observation of mesoscopic cortical network functions.
