Thank you for an accurate ELI5 description of the human visual system. Dunno what this “ML” is, I assume it’s some part of the brain?
It’s too bad you can’t analyze brains like you can with neural networks. It’s trivial to visualize filters and feature maps or to create heatmaps showing which pixels (shadow shapes?) in a specific image affect the classification output and why (contrasting color?).
- d110af5ccf 5y agoThe issue is that a human driver is much more than just a visual cortex. > which pixels (shadow shapes?) in a specific image affect the classification output and why (contrasting color?) Sure, you can watch the Rube Goldberg machine work. It doesn't mean you understand why it works on a conceptual level or have any hope of rigorously quantifying when and how it could fail.
- ravi-delia 5y agoI don't think that's entirely fair. I'd bet that with a reasonably sized team, good introspective tools, and several years, you could reverse engineer what each part of a network does. Of course that's only a gut feeling, and there'd be no way of proving it was accurate.
- pixelgeek 5y agoI really like the Goldberg machine analogy. Consider it stolen
