Visual Illusions Deceiving Neural Networks

Today on the show we have Adrian Martin, a Post-doctoral researcher from the University of Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. He comes on the show today to discuss his research from the paper “Convolutional Neural Networks can be Deceived by Visual Illusions.” Works Mentioned in Paper: “Convolutional Neural Networks can be Deceived by Visual Illusions.” by Alexander Gomez-Villa, Adrian Martin, Javier Vazquez-Corral, and Marcelo Bertalmio Examples: Snake Illusions https://www.illusionsindex.org/i/rotating-snakes Twitter: Alex: @alviur Adrian: @adriMartin13 Thanks to our sponsor!

Adrian Martin: Adrian Martin obtained his Biochemistry Degree at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM) in 2011. The same year, he was awarded with La Caixa´s fellowship to pursue Master´s degree studies. He performed the Master in Biomedical Research at Universidad Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona between 2011 and 2012. He returned to Madrid in 2013, where he was awarded with a PhD fellowship FPU from the Education Ministry. He conducted his PhD studies between 2013 and 2017 in the Centro de Biologia Molecular (CBM) at UAM, under Dr. Carlos Dotti´s direction, working in insulin signaling in the hippocampus and its role in neuronal aging. In 2017 he obtained his PhD degree in Biochemistry at UAM and in 2018 he started a postdoctoral period at Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo´s laboratory in New York, working in the relationship between chaperone mediated autophagy (CMA) and the Parkinson´s neurodegenerative disease. In 2023 he was awarded with a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship from the European Commission to conduct studies related to aging and microbiome at IMDEA food institute.
