NEW YORK (TIP): Researchers led by an Indian-origin scientist from Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered how humans can categorise data using less than percent percent of the original information.
They validated an algorithm to explain human learning — a method that also can be used for machine learning, data analysis and computer vision.
“How do we make sense of so much data around us, of so many different types, so quickly and robustly?” said Santosh Vempala, distinguished professor of computer science. “At a fundamental level, how do humans begin to do that? It’s a computational problem,” he asked.
Vempala and colleagues presented test subjects with original, abstract images and then asked whether they could correctly identify that same image when randomly shown just a small portion of it.
“We hypothesised that random projection could be one way humans learn,” said Rosa Arriaga, senior research scientist and developmental psychologist
“The prediction was right. Just 0.15 percent of the total data is enough for humans,” she added.
Next, researchers tested a computational algorithm to allow machines to complete the same tests.
Machines performed as well as humans, which provides a new understanding of how humans learn.
“We found evidence that, in fact, the human and the machine’s neural network behave very similarly,” Arriaga noted. It is believed to be the first study of “random projection,” the core component of the researchers’ theory, with human subjects.
“We were surprised by how close the performance was between extremely simple neural networks and humans,” Vempala said. “This fascinating paper introduces a localised random projection that compresses images while still making it possible for humans and machines to distinguish broad categories,” explained Sanjoy Dasgupta, professor of computer science and engineering at the University of California-San Diego.

I went over this web site and I conceive you have a lot of wonderful information, bookmarked (:.
I have been exploring for a little bit for any high quality articles or weblog posts in this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I eventually stumbled upon this website. Reading this info So i’m happy to exhibit that I’ve a very good uncanny feeling I found out just what I needed. I so much definitely will make certain to don’t overlook this site and give it a glance on a relentless basis.
Hey, you used to write magnificent, but the last few posts have been kinda boringK I miss your great writings. Past several posts are just a little bit out of track! come on!
I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
