 M.R. Bauer Foundation Colloquium Series
Geoffrey Hinton received his BA in experimental psychology from Cambridge in 1970 and his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from Edinburgh in 1978.
He is currently a fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and professor of Computer Science and Psychology at the University of Toronto.
Hinton describes the "wake-sleep" algorithm which uses top-down connections to create target states for the internal neurons.

Hinton's approach is called the Product of Experts (POE), and had always been thought to have the opposite problem.
Hinton was able to exploit this in the learning algorithm for a POE system he calls a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM).
Other ways in which the Hinton's approach is biologically credible include its speed, and the fact that it doesn't require synapses (neural interconnections) to work backwards (as is necessary for backpropagation).

 Rumelhart Prize   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Glushko-Samuelson Foundation and the Cognitive Science Society are pleased to announce that Geoffrey E. Hinton has been chosen as the first recipient of the David E. Rumelhart Prize for contributions to the formal analysis of human cognition.
Hinton was chosen for his many important contributions to the analysis of neural networks, elucidating the nature of representation, processing, and learning in the brain.
Hinton is currently Director of the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London, where he leads an outstanding group of faculty, post-doctoral research fellows, and graduate students investigating the computational neural mechanisms of perception and action with an emphasis on learning.

Also, learning rule does not follow the gradient of the log like- the gradient used for learning is very noisy because it is the lihood, but it does closely approximate the gradient of an- difference of two noisy expectations.
The non-independence in the posterior layer logistic belief net is to use a set of "recognition" con- distribution is created by the likelihood term coming from the nections that compute a factorial approximation to the pos- data.
Figure 10 shows Almost all the computation required is independent of which how the class-conditional state of the associative memory label unit is turned on [Teh and Hinton, 2001] and this method then evolves when it is allowed to run freely, but with the computes the exact conditional equilibrium distribution over label clamped.

With the RBM algorithm, developed by Geoffrey Hinton, a cognitive researcher at the Gatsby unit, it is now also much more efficient.
Hinton and his colleagues have chosen to concentrate on another approach: perceptual learning.
What Hinton realized was that there is no need to start from scratch, and he was able to exploit this fact in the learning algorithm for a Product of Experts.

 Letters from Bangkok
Well, I said, Geoffrey in my opinion would make an excellent old man, but I didn't know if he would agree to be one, and at first he said, no, he couldn't possibly, but then he thought perhaps he might, and then, just to oblige a friend, he said he would.
We waited about for a bit, and then at 7.5 we went out of the waiting room, in through a padded door into a sort of sound-lock and through another padded door into the studio, which had thick linoleum on the floor and walls either of wood or covered with hanging folds of material.
Geoffrey, blissfully unaware of these dramatic goings-on, went on reading his part, and listening in one was quite unaware that anything exciting was happening though of course you could see it.
