#Google s Brain-Inspired Software Describes What It Sees in Complex Images Experimental Google software that can describe a complex scene could lead to better image search
Researchers at Google have created software that can use complete sentences to accurately describe scenes shown in photos significant advance in the field of computer vision.
the software responded with the description group of young people playing a game of frisbee.
The software can even count, giving answers such as wo pizzas sitting on top of a stove top oven.
most efforts to create software that understands images have focused on the easier task of identifying single objects. t very exciting,
The new software is the latest product of Google research into using large collections of simulated neurons to process data (see 0 Breakthrough Technologies 2013:
No one at Google programmed the new software with rules for how to interpret scenes. Instead, its networks earnedby consuming data.
Google researchers created the software through a kind of digital brain surgery, plugging together two neural networks developed separately for different tasks.
The other had been trained to generate full English sentences as part of automated translation software. When the networks are combined,
After that training process, the software was set loose on several large data sets of images from Flickr
The accuracy of its descriptions was judged then with an automated test used to benchmark computer-vision software.
Google software posted scores in the 60s on a 100-point scale. Humans doing the test typically score in 70s,
That result suggests Google is far ahead of other researchers working to create scene-describing software.
and test this kind of software. When Google asked humans to rate its software descriptions of images on a scale of 1 to 4
it averaged only 2. 5, suggesting that it still has a long way to go.
though large databases of hand-labeled images have been created to train software to recognize individual objects,

Izhikevich s startup Brain Corporation based in San diego has developed an operating system for robots called Brainos to make that possible.
To teach a robot running the software to pick up trash for example you would use a remote control to repeatedly guide its gripper to perform that task.
Brain Corporation hopes to make money by providing its software to entrepreneurs and companies that want to bring intelligent low-cost robots to market.
and could then copy its software to new robots with the same design before they headed to store shelves.
Brain Corporation s software is based on a combination of several different artificial intelligence techniques. Much of the power comes from using artificial neural networks
But they might eventually offer a more powerful and efficient way to run software like Brainos.
Intel is working with software companies to develop applications that use the technology. In the next few weeks the chip maker will release free software that any software developer can use to build apps for the sensors.

The Michigan State university researchers developed software that makes it feasible to accurately match fingerprints of children under five with off-the-shelf equipment.
The Michigan State university researchers needed to process images taken from fingerprint sensors using software to compensate for the small size of the children s fingerprints as well as their sometimes wet and oily skin.
In a trial in Benin West Africa the software successfully matched about 70 percent compared to 98 percent in another test in Lansing Michigan.
