Google teaching computers to mimic human brainSan Francisco (AFP) June 26, 2012 Google on Tuesday said it was dabbling with getting computers to simulate the learning process of the human brain as one of the unusual projects for researchers in its X Lab. Computers programmed with algorithms intended to mimic neural connections "learned" to recognize cats after being shown a sampling of YouTube videos, Google fellow Jeff Dean and visiting faculty Andrew Ng said in a blog post. "Our hypothesis was that it would learn to recognize common objects in those videos," the researche ... read more |
