Recognizing Scenes Like the Brain Does

Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers at the MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research have used a biological model to train a computer model to recognize objects, such as cars or people, in busy street scenes. Their innovative approach, which combines neuroscience and artificial intelligence with computer science, mimics how the brain functions to recognize objects in the real world. This versatile model could one day be used for automobile driver's assistance, visual search engines, biomedical imaging analysis, or robots with realistic vision. Here is the researchers' paper in PDF format."

There was. You didn't recognize it.

Now, of course, if someone was to design and build a [$12,000] robot, completely for their own interest, that could build copies of itself, *and* do useful work like stocking shelves...

We've got an overstock of these in California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. We'll be glad to ship 'em either north _or_ south if y'all will pay the freight or, at the very least, provide a destination address.
