Explore groundbreaking research on the vision-language-motor interface in the human brain and its applications to computer systems in this lecture by Jeffrey Siskind from Purdue University. Delve into fMRI investigations that reveal how the brain processes language across different modalities, including spoken sentences, text, and video. Discover how researchers can read out individual concepts, words, and even entire sentences from brain scans, and learn about the compositional mental semantic representation shared across subjects and modalities. Examine three computational systems developed based on this research: one that tracks objects in video using sentential descriptions, another that learns noun and preposition meanings from robot navigation, and a third that plays checkers using natural language instructions. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary work connecting neuroscience, computer vision, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
