If the shoe was on the other foot, I can imagine a race of super computer AI's administrating a similar test to humans and saying look at the puny human vision system. It is fooled easily by simple optical illusions that wouldn't fool even a 2 year old AI. Clearly, there are questions about the generality of the human vision system and perhaps it is not fit for purpose...
- romaniv 12y agoYes, of course, what constitutes sensible image recognition is just a matter of opinion, and opinions of some algorithm are as valid as yours. In fact, my pseudo-random number generator seeded with image binary accurately recognizes 100% of images I give it (based on my newly developed definition of image recognition).
- SeanDav 12y agoI have got no idea of the point you are trying to make. You seem to be criticizing something I said but not sure what. You do realize that I was trying to make a somewhat ironic / somewhat humorous comment that you have to be careful that what you test for is relevant and that one isn't focusing on a narrow weakness which may not actually be that relevant for the general case.
- romaniv 12y agoYou're making a comment in response to a specific research paper. Therefore, I interpret the comment within the context of that paper. So you're implying that the paper is "focusing on a narrow weakness which may not actually be that relevant for the general case". I disagree. Any 2d image is an optical illusion, so it makes no sense to criticize human image recognition based on it being 'fooled' by illusions. The real criteria for whether image recognition works well or not is altogether different.
