Interesting! Made me wonder - how would we compare the data that neural net receives with the data that toddler's visual cortex is getting?
On a purely visual level - let's say we have 10k of static 32x32 images defining a class of cat. Or even more of them plus some negative examples. Each image is a different cat, in a different position (they're incredibly flexible creatures). Having so many cases we should be trying to make some kind of a generalization of what 1024 pixels of a cat should look like.
A family with a toddler has only one cat. From that one example, he learns the concept of what a cat is and is able to generalize it when in different situations. But a toddler has 2 eyes, his visual input is stereo. Even if he sees just one cat, it's not a static image interaction. The input is temporal, he can see the cat moving and interacting with the environment.
- camikazeg 10y agoSo instead of 10k static 32x32 random images of cats for training data, why not do 10k frames of cat videos that add up to seeing the cat moving and interacting with the environment?
- dharma1 10y agoI think stereo vision isn't super important for this - people blind in one eye don't do noticeably worse. Not to say depth doesn't help for segmentation or learning concepts but I don't think it's the key
