Yi Ma

In a captivating discussion, Professor Yi Ma, a pioneer in deep learning and computer vision, challenges our perceptions of AI. He explains how language models primarily memorize rather than understand, and he distinguishes between 3D reconstruction and true comprehension. Yi introduces the principles of parsimony and self-consistency as crucial to intelligence. The conversation touches on the evolution of knowledge, the limitations of current AI models in achieving abstraction, and the potential of coding rate reduction to enhance learning mechanisms.
