AI still isn’t as good at recognizing objects as people are, new test shows

Artificial intelligence has gradually made its way into many areas of life with abilities that often match or surpass those of humans. But a study published in the journal iScience finds that AI-powered machines have trouble recognizing objects from their overall shapes when aspects of an image are distorted. The findings offer a new way to evaluate and compare computer vision with that of people.

A power-efficient engine that can disentangle the visual attributes of objects

Most humans are innately able to identify the individual attributes of sensory stimuli, such as objects they are seeing, sounds they are hearing, and so on. While artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become increasingly better at recognizing specific objects in images or other stimuli, they are often unable to disentangle…

Reinforcement learning allows underwater robots to locate and track objects underwater

A team has shown that reinforcement learning -i.e., a neural network that learns the best action to perform at each moment based on a series of rewards- allows autonomous vehicles and underwater robots to locate and carefully track marine objects and animals.
