Why do some websites need you to identify trucks to prove you’re human when machine learning can easily allow computers to do so?
In: 190
Machine learning can’t do it without feedback telling it whether its prediction was correct.
And that’s what you’re providing.
Google can take a bunch of images from streets around the world, run their own machine learning software on it to try to guess which ones are trucks, and then they ask you to pick out the ones with trucks on them.
And hey, they’ve gotten you to provide error correction for their machine learning *for free*! Isn’t that great? If their software guessed wrong, they’ll see you point out “that one is not a truck”, and they can feed that back to their software to make better guesses next time.
Meanwhile, they can monitor your mouse movement and response time to see if you’re reacting like a human.
