The Algonauts challenge is about predicting the object representations in the form of Representational Dissimilarity Matrices (RDMS) derived from visual brain regions. We used a customized deep learning model using the concept of Siamese networks and group convolutions to predict neural distances corresponding to a pair of images. Training data was best explained by distances computed over the last layer.
