Scientists at Google have created artificial
intelligence software that can describe the
contents of photographs far more accurately than
ever before.
The software's description of pictures was similar
to that written by a human.
As well as making it easier to search for images,
the software could be used to help blind people
understand pictures better, Google said.
Stanford University has also announced a
breakthrough in the same field.
The machine-learning software developed by
Google used two neural networks - one which
deals with image recognition, the other with
natural language processing.
Neural networking is a computational model that
mimics some of the same architecture used in the
brain. Such systems have a series of
interconnected neurons which can take information
from a variety of sources and are also capable of
learning.
The neural network developed by Google was the
work of four scientists - Oriol Vinyals, Alexander
Toshev, Samy Bengio and Dumitru Erhan.
"A picture may be worth a thousands words," they
wrote on the Google Research blog.
"But sometimes it's the words that are the most
useful - so it's important we figure out ways to
translate from images to words automatically and
accurately."
Two years ago Google researchers created image-
recognition software and showed it 10 million
images taken from YouTube videos. After three
days the programme had taught itself how to pick
out pictures of cats.

Google as a company and universities in the u.s hav impacted,the world in d field of computing. What do nigerian universities and I.T companies (are they any tht do original research in house?) have to show the world?
Google values knowledge . They research things.. 9ja companies just wanna churn prodcts and make money..
Our emphasis is so short term and myopic while others are researchg and creating d future tht will shape d world we will live in.

Image recognition,
machine learning,
neural networks

any 9jan companies requirng these skillz?
We're not strted yet.

Neural Network has been my area of interest for a while, more kudos to Google inc.
