DARPA robot can learn tasks from Youtube video and a neural net can understand video 20 times faster than a human

Shared from Zite:   DARPA robot can learn tasks from Youtube video and a neural net can understand video 20 times faster than a human Next Big Future - A startup called Clarifai is offering a service that uses deep learning to understand video. The company says its software can rapidly analyze video clips to recognize 10,000 different objects or types of scene. In a demo given last week at a conference on deep learning, Clarifai's cofounder and CEO Matthew Zeiler uploaded a clip that included footage of a varied alpine landscape. The software created a timeline with graph lines summarizing when different objects or types of scene were detected. It showed exactly when "snow" and "mountains" occurred individually and together. The software can analyze video faster than a human could watch it; in the demonstration, the 3.5 minute clip was processed in just 10 seconds. Available on the App Store.
