I couldn\u2019t see very well myself, but my memory of prior experiences filled in the holes enough that I could function basically as good as a normal person. Most people don\u2019t know that I don\u2019t see well. That gave me \u2014 I think \u2014 this unique intuition that it might be less about the pixels and more about the memory.<\/p>\n Computers only see what\u2019s there now, whereas we see the moment connected to the tapestry of everything we\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re in a particular city, sometimes you just know what city you\u2019re in \u2014 there\u2019s this je ne sais quoi<\/em>, even though you\u2019ve never been to that particular street corner. That\u2019s extremely hard to describe in words, but it\u2019s right there in the pixels.<\/p>\n [For Paris], you could talk about how it\u2019s usually six-story buildings, and usually there are balconies on the fourth story. You could put some of this into words, but a lot is not linguistic. To me that\u2019s exciting.<\/p>\n Right now, computers have a ginormous data set: billions of random images scraped off the internet. They take random images, process one image, then take another random image, process that, etc. You train your [computer\u2019s visual] system by going over and over this data set.<\/p>\n The way that we \u2014 biological agents \u2014 ingest data is very different. When we are faced with a novel situation, it is the one and only time this data will be there for us. We\u2019ve never been in this exact situation, in this room, with this lighting, dressed this way. First, we use this data to do what we need to do, to understand the world. Then, we use this data to learn from it, [to predict] the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n

Your recent work involves teaching computers to <\/strong>ingest visual data<\/strong><\/a> in ways that mimic human sight. How does that work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
