Well, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, in the immortal words of Thomas Alva Edison.

- amelius 7y agoYeah but it makes you wonder: is it genius, or is it just brute force pattern matching? And what if he gets a new cat, or his cat switches to a different kind of prey? From the outside, it might seem as if he is enslaved by his pet.
- keerthiko 7y ago> From the outside, it might seem as if he is enslaved by his pet. I don't see the issue, this is the explicit contract of having a cat for a pet.
- fisherjeff 7y ago> explicit contract I think many first-time cat slaves would disagree
- chris_st 7y agoThey'll learn.
- fisherjeff 7y agoIt took me all of maybe 20 minutes
- velcrovan 7y agoBrute force pattern matching would be cataloguing all possible matching pixel patterns. The whole point of the ML approach is that with a comparatively few images (yes even 20k is comparatively few) the computer will correctly match pixel-sets it has never encountered before.
- amelius 7y agoIf your comparison function returns a float instead of a binary value, then you don't need to match against every possible image. Instead you just return how much each image is "similar" to the given image. A simple approach is to use cross correlation for the similarity.
