Correlation is not the causation is the common wisdom.
But this is exactly we do in DL.
Yet this is exactly DL techniques seems to be doing. I am amazed that it works so well.
I am not the expert. Can someone explain like ELI5?
- Nasrudith 8y agoWell the thing is that correlations can be used but they need a correction in the loop somewhere. The job of the human is to laugh and correct it. One example was teaching computers to draw cats based on reference images - many were lolcats of varying languages and it associated the floating fonts with cat features resulting in a blurry eerie gibberish mess. https://mobile.twitter.com/goodfellow_ian/status/937406530743287808?lang=en https://mobile.twitter.com/goodfellow_ian/status/93740653074... The two fixes are to either exclude the captioned examples from the set or to add in a filter "this is caption text - ignore it".
