Cracking the Code of Brainwaves: New Method for N400 Identification

Just like deciphering a secret language, scientists have developed a novel method to identify and classify N400 event-related potentials in the brain. This method combines the power of Soft-DTW and a transformer model to tackle the challenges of low signal-to-noise ratio and complex feature extraction. By utilizing a differentiable and efficient Soft-DTW loss function, the […]

Unveiling the Effectiveness of Latent Representations in AI Systems

Just like ingredients are essential to a recipe, latent representations are vital to cognitive artificial intelligence (AI) systems. In this study, we delve into the performance of different sequential clustering algorithms on the latent representations created by autoencoder and convolutional neural network (CNN) models. We also introduce a groundbreaking algorithm called Collage, which incorporates views […]
