Research Profile
Barak Pearlmutter’s primary technical interest is in systems that adapt: how to analyze them, how to understand them, how to build them. Because the most flexible and competent adaptive systems available is the nervous system, he is interested in artificial neural networks and computational neuroscience. He is most focused on the construction of novel architectures and algorithms that enable us to understand and attack previously unassailable problems, and to understand previously mysterious aspects of nervous system function.
A secondary interest of Prof. Pearlmutter’s is in programming systems, especially advanced programming language design and implementation. One of his projects is to build a new efficient advanced programming language with novel constructs that allow many numeric algorithms and scientific computations to be expressed very clearly and succinctly.
