Dusting an old Math Theory to Take Machine Vision to the Next Level

What could be the link between machine vision and a supposedly smart horse? Clever Hans or der Kluge Hans, was a horse raised in Germany between 1895 and 1916. The animal was claimed to possess superior intelligence and became famous among the public and scientists around the world. By tapping its hoof on the ground, Hans was able to add, subtract, multiply, divide and do many other arithmetic and intellectual tasks. Several scientists at the time investigated the "intelligence" of this controversial horse.
