In our last post, I introduced (perhaps more like re-introduced) the concept of machine perception (MP) as sort of a forgotten second cousin of machine learning (ML). Ironically, one of the first forms of neural network was dubbed the “perceptron,” a nod to the link between perception and intelligence. And while MP lives on and thrives today in fields like computer vision, it isn’t necessarily tied to ML.

Artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning – it’s popping up everywhere. When we hear those words, we think massive computers, convolutional neural nets, algorithms, and lifetimes of training data. And yet, my daughter, at 4 years old with zero radiology training, was able to register a pair of 3-dimensional CT scans in seconds, when specialized, purpose-built medical-grade software had difficulty. Machine learning systems are vaguely based on the brain, but clearly there is something missing.
