Teaching an Alien to Recognize Human Faces

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on developing a method for teaching an alien to recognize human faces, emphasizing the importance of symmetry and color recognition. Participants are encouraged to propose processes and identify flaws in each other's descriptions. The discussion highlights a sample process that includes checking for color, symmetry, and the presence of at least one eye, while also showcasing a humorous programming analogy to illustrate the concept. The goal is to create a flawless description that accurately captures the complexities of human facial recognition.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic facial recognition concepts
  • Familiarity with symmetry in visual perception
  • Knowledge of color theory and its application in recognition tasks
  • Basic programming concepts, particularly in object-oriented programming
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced techniques in facial recognition algorithms
  • Explore machine learning models for image classification
  • Study the psychology of human face perception
  • Learn about the implementation of color detection in computer vision
USEFUL FOR

Artificial intelligence developers, cognitive scientists, educators in visual perception, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and human recognition capabilities.

Hello everyone :)

There is an alien that just came to Earth and is having trouble recognizing peoples faces. We also have trouble recognizing his face; where his eye is on one hand and a mouth on the other. Luckily for us the alien understands our language and simple colours.

The task is to teach the alien how to recognize human faces. Post a process/description using pictures and any learning material for an alien might do to recognize human faces; the second person gives an example where the process/description is flawed and inputs his new description adding/subtracting and etc.

The winner is the person who posts a process/description that no one can find a flaw :).

example:
user 1;
Human faces have 2 eyes
user 2:
some humans lost an eye

Lets start:

1: find something that is generally one color
2: Check that its resonably symetric
3: check that there is atleast one eye

public Alien()
{
//start off:
AreYouHuman(new RandomObject());
}

public void AreYouHuman(object human)
{
if(human is Human)
{
if (!human == GetHumanFromDatabase(human))
{StoreHumanInDataBase(human);}
}
human = new RandomObject();
WhatColor(human); //see below method
if(this is Living)
{
AreYouHuman(human);
}
}

public Color WhatColor(object obj)
{
if(! obj.Color == GetColorFromDataBase(obj.Color))
{
StoreColorInDataBase(obj.Color);
}
}
