Chapter 14. Deep Computer Vision Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Although IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer beat the chess world champion Garry Kasparov back in 1996, it wasn’t until fairly recently that computers were able to reliably perform seemingly trivial tasks such as detecting a puppy in a picture or recognizing spoken words. Why are these tasks so effortless to us humans? The answer lies in the fact that perception largely takes place outside the realm of our consciousness, within specialized visual, auditory, and other sensory modules in our brains. By the time sensory information reaches our consciousness, it is already adorned with high-level features; for example, when you look at a picture of a cute puppy, you cannot choose not to see the puppy, not to notice its cuteness. Nor can you explain how you recognize a cute puppy; it’s just obvious to you. Thus, we cannot trust our subjective experience: perception is not trivial at all, and to understand it we must look at how our sensory modules work.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) emerged from the study of the brain’s visual cortex, and they have been used in computer image recognition since the 1980s. Over the last 10 years, thanks to the increase in computational power, the amount of available training data, and the tricks presented in Chapter 11 for training deep nets, CNNs have managed to achieve superhuman performance on some complex visual tasks. They power image search services, self-driving cars, automatic ...
