One of the most archetypal failure modes of current NN-based classifiers is, for example, happily reporting seeing a spotted feline given a picture of a couch with a leopard pattern.

- Sharlin 7y agoI don’t think today’s classifiers are anywhere sophisticated enough to have a concept of something vs. a picture of something, a type of use–mention distinction, or ceci n’est un pipe if you will. The point was that people think they trained their classifier to recognize leopards, but in actuality it just learned to recognize the leopard coat pattern.
