Embracing Uncertainty: Applied Machine Learning Comes of Age
Christopher Bishop, Microsoft Research Cambridge, ICML 2011 Keynote.
Christopher reports the discovery that solving the problem of guesture controls isn’t one of tracking location, say of your arm from position to position.
Rather it is a question of recognition, at every frame. Which makes the computation tractable on older hardware.
Which makes me wonder how many other problems we have “viewed” the most difficult way possible? Or where viewing as problems of recognition will make previously intractable problems tractable? Won’t know unless we make the effort to ask.
