Lifelogging and fiction can teach computers to see how we see
"WHAT am I doing now? And now?" University students have been popping GoPro video cameras on their heads and filming a first-person view of their daily lives, then asking a computer to interpret it. Vain though it may sound, the exercise has a point. Researchers want artificial intelligences to understand us better – and teaching them to see the world through our eyes is a good place to start. "It allows us to indirectly tap into human minds," says Gedas Bertasius at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
