Tomaso Poggio

Tomaso A. Poggio is the Eugene McDermott Professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, McGovern Institute and the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)and the director of The Center for Biological and Computational Learning at MIT. His interdisciplinary research on the problem of intelligence, between brains and computers, started at the Max Planck Institute in Tuebingen, Germany in collaborations with Werner E. Reichardt, David C. Marr and Francis H.C. Crick, among others. He has made contributions to learning theory, to the computational theory of vision, to the understanding of the fly's visual system, and to the biophysics of computation. His recent work is focused on computational neuroscience in close collaboration with several physiology labs, trying to answer the questions of how our visual system learns to see and recognize scenes and objects.

Poggio is an honorary member of the Neuroscience Research Program, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Founding Fellow of AAAI. He received the Laurea Honoris Causa from the University of Pavia in 2000 and the 2003 [http://www.inns.org/ Gabor Award] . A former Corporate Fellow of Thinking Machines Corporation, he was involved in starting several other high tech companies.

This short clip (3min) here shows work performed at CBCL (MIT) about a computational neuroscience model of the ventral stream of the visual cortex. The story here focuses on recent work by Serre, Oliva and Poggio on comparing the performance of the model to human observers during a rapid object categorization task.
