DESCRIPTION:Jordan DeKraker\n	Postdoctoral Fellow\, The Neuro\n	Supervisors: 
 Boris Bernhardt and Alan Evans\n\nAbstract: Many researchers study the hip
 pocampus as a center for memory\, navigation or as a crux in disease. Here
 \, I consider the role of the hippocampus as a driver\, or cost function\,
  for deep learning throughout brain evolution and in modern AI. Modern AI 
 takes millions of training samples and is told the corresponding interpret
 ations (outputs) for each. Animals learn fast and through mostly unstructu
 red exploration. I argue that the ability to predict\, and especially to r
 emember predictions over long timescales\, is a key component of animal le
 arning and an avenue towards more data-efficient and general AI. In part 2
 \, I address the issue that current AI models don't make good long-term pr
 edictions and present a way forward through HippoMaps: a tool for quantita
 tive mapping of hippocampal macro-\, micro-circuitry\, and functional reco
 rdings across domains and spatial scales. Spatial comparison of these maps
  can help us better understand the contrast of the acquisition methods and
  inter-individual differences\, but also the mechanisms through which circ
 uitry gives rise to function. Altogether\, this talk leverages computation
 al methods for making bridgeheads between theory-driven and data-driven un
 derstanding of learning and intelligence.\n
