TraiNNing Cards – Flash cards to train your machines

Category Members Objects People Posted on:

Latest in the series of critical design projects by Shanghai design and research studio Automato, TraiNNing Cards is a set of 5000 training images, physically printed and handpicked by humans to train any of your machines to recognise first and favorite item in a house: a dog.

Recently we hear a lot about Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Neural Networks as being a revolutionary way for computers and machines in general to sense and recognise the world around them. Security cameras, home robots and other “intelligent” machines will have to recognise not only us but objects, pets and other inhabitants of our life with a training process that is hidden and done digitally through a generic set of images gathered from the web. But how much does it take for a “machine” to learn something? Well, around 1.2 meters and 8 kg of images.
