@Singularitarian what about the recent image recognition results

@Shedletsky @Singularitarian It's very impressive, but news reports saying "OMG better-than-human" are very misleading

@michael_nielsen @Singularitarian I saw the results where they had a program that could recognize different breeds of dogs.

@michael_nielsen @Singularitarian Most people can probably only name 20-30 different breeds, so it's probably super-human in that regard

@michael_nielsen @Singularitarian although by my logic a dictionary is super-human in that regard... however the pace of progress is v. fast

@Shedletsky @Singularitarian @karpthy has a nice blog post on the process: http://karpathy.github.io/2014/09/02/what-i-learned-from-competing-against-a-convnet-on-imagenet/ …

@michael_nielsen Nice post. I think performance is super-human at this point. The winning teams are at 3.5% as of 2015 vs 6% for this guy.
