Acquiring Visual Classifiers from Human Imagination

Figure 1: Although all image patches in (a) are just noise, when we show thousands of them to online workers and ask them to find ones that look like cars, a car emerges in the average, shown in (c). This noise-driven method is a well known approach in human psychophysics that extracts the decision function that the human visual system uses for recognition. We are adopting this method to build ...

Learning visual biases from human imagination

Although the human visual system can recognize many concepts under challenging conditions, it still has some biases. In this paper, we investigate whether we can extract these biases and transfer them into a machine recognition system. We introduce a novel method that, inspired by well-known tools in human psychophysics, estimates the biases that the human visual system might use for recognitio...
