Abstract

Neuroscientists are generating data sets of enormous size, which are matching the complexity of real-world classification tasks. Machine learning has helped data analysis enormously but is often not as accurate as human data analysis. Here, Helmstaedter discusses the challenges and promises of neuroscience-inspired machine learning that lie ahead.
