I did some experiments that really highlight how heavily image recognition algorithms depend on probability - and how unprepared they are for surrealism. #machinelearning

@freundTech Thanks for the link! I hope they'll post some of the results sometime - it would be interesting to read.
@janellecshane there was a mastodon bot that "recognized" pics ... Where is it now?
@saper @janellecshane
are you thinking of @fascists_exe ?
@janellecshane @saper
Or possibly @neuralgae , though that also generates an image.
@enkiv2 @janellecshane @neuralgae Nope,
I meant @neural_tv
But it stopped working (@ryanfb) ?
@janellecshane i am now going to greet every sheep i encounter "hello, flower"
@janellecshane Thanks a lot, just what I needed before going to sleep.
@janellecshane funny
My student trained some classifiers on ImageNet and the result was that all quadrupeds were predicted as dog.
We then switched to MS Coco and found that -- while the caption generation is often good for a laugh -- the object detection was not pretty good in most cases.
Not detecting sheep on trees maybe shows that the Deep Networks now have actually a good "common sense"
I wonder how it fare on the columbine harvester picture?

@deeds Ha, what a picture! As you predicted, Microsoft Azure (trained on Coco, I believe) reported it as "a crowd of people"
@deeds But Cloudsight is an interesting case! It seamlessly uses humans for the hard one and since the caption was part of the photo...
Object: "green and yellow combine harvester"
Scene: "This Look Like A Sick Concert Text"
@janellecshane Surrealism relies upon contextual comprehension.
That is an AI-hard problem, and until we have functionally structured AI designs, that will be very hard to achieve, and effectively impossible to prove if we do achieve it.
@janellecshane You might find this interesting:

It's an art project, which uses AI to generate patterns, which fool other AIs.
Those patterns for example make an AI recognize a tank painted with it as an umbrella or similar.
