DeepMind's New Research on Linking Memories, and How It Applies to AI

There's a cognitive quirk humans have that seems deceptively elementary. For example: every morning, you see a man in his 30s walking a boisterous collie.

Subconsciously we immediately make a series of deductions: the man and woman might be from the same household. The lady may be the man's mother, or some other close relative.
