Introduction

Please join the next in the CSAIL Forum series, hosted by CSAIL Director, Professor Daniela Rus.

This week features Joshua Tenenbaum, Professor of Computational Cognitive Science. His research seeks to understand the most elusive aspect of human intelligence: our ability to learn so much about the world, so rapidly and flexibly. Tenenbaum and his students like to ask, "How do we humans get so much from so little?" How do we acquire our commonsense understanding of the world given what is clearly by today's engineering standards so little data, so little time, and so little energy?
