<em>What does the primary visual cortex tell us about object recognition?</em></span></span></p>
<p style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", "Segoe UI WPC", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; color: black;"><em></em>Object recognition relies on the complex visual representations in cortical areas at the top of the primate ventral stream hierarchy. While these are
thought to be derived from low-level stages of visual processing, this has not been shown, yet. Relating specific low-level properties to object recognition behavior is critical for modeling the primate ventral stream. In this talk, I describe the results
of two projects exploring the contributions of primary visual cortex (V1) processing to object recognition using artificial neural networks (ANNs). In the first project, we evaluated hundreds of V1 models based on task-optimized ANNs in how their single neurons
approximate those in the macaque V1. We found that, for some ANNs, single neurons in intermediate layers are indeed similar to their biological counterparts, and that the distributions of their response properties approximately match those in V1. Furthermore,
we observed that ANNs with intermediate layers that better matched macaque V1 were more aligned with human behavior, suggesting that object recognition is in fact derived from low-level functional properties. Motivated by these results, we studied how the
ability of a model to predict neuronal responses in V1 relates to its robustness to image perturbations. Despite their high performance in object recognition tasks, ANNs can be fooled by imperceptibly small, explicitly crafted perturbations, and solving this
issue remains a major challenge in computer vision. We observed that ANNs that better predicted V1 neuronal activity were also more robust to adversarial attacks. Inspired by this observation, we developed VOneNets, a new class of hybrid ANN vision models.
Each VOneNet contains a fixed weight neural network front-end that simulates primate V1, called the VOneBlock, followed by a neural network back-end adapted from current ANN vision models. After training, VOneNets retained high ImageNet performance, but were
substantially more robust, outperforming the base ANNs and state-of-the-art methods on a conglomerate benchmark of perturbations. While current ANN architectures are arguably brain-inspired, these results demonstrate that more precisely mimicking just one
stage of the primate visual system leads to new gains in ImageNet-level computer vision applications and can potentially improve current models of primate object recognition behavior.</span></span></p>
