![]() The way neural networks learn is by looking at lots of examples. ![]() In fact, the neural network hallucinated sheep every time it saw a landscape of this type. I happen to know there were sheep nearby. I zoomed all the way in and inspected every speck. ![]() But there are no sheep in the image of above. Microsoft Azure’s computer vision API added the above caption and tags. But image recognition algorithms can make really bizarre mistakes. Several companies - including Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Facebook - have their own algorithms for labeling photos. One of their specialties is image recognition.

And if for some strange reason you haven’t yet listened to ‘Bambi’, definitely do - it’ll make you feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time.If you’ve been on the internet today, you’ve probably interacted with a neural network.
