Title:
Exploring New Trends of Deep Networks: Deep Generative Models with Capsules
Agreement Number:
925076
Agreement Value:
$12,500.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
We wonder how symbolic and connectionist AI could converge in the next-generation deep learning algorithms. We approach this question by investigating and developing deep generative neural networks with capsules (multivariate stochastic neurons), which will represent elements of knowledge in capsules and dynamically piece together to produce novelties that make sense.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
NAICS Code:
541710 - R&D in the physical, engineering and life sciences
