Yannic Kilcher via YouTube

Overview

Explore Geoffrey Hinton's GLOM model for computer vision in this comprehensive video explanation. Dive into the innovative approach that combines transformers, neural fields, contrastive learning, capsule networks, denoising autoencoders, and RNNs to dynamically construct parse trees for object recognition. Learn about the multi-step consensus algorithm, cross-column attention mechanism, and how GLOM handles video input. Discover the potential of this new AI approach for visual scene understanding, including discussions on architecture, training methods, and design decisions.
