network] would learn to recognize common objects in
those videos. Indeed, to our amusement, one of our
artificial neurons learned to respond strongly to
pictures of X. Remember that this network had never
been told what a X was, nor was it given even a single
image labeled as a X. Instead, it discovered what a X
looked like by itself from only unlabeled YouTube
stills," said Google Fellow Jeff Dean in a posting at
Google's website.
Google Brain is a software simulation of a large scale
neural network. What did it first identify, after scouring
through thousands of youtube videos?
