Right,
Who am I? and what am I going to do?
I'm an amateur developer, amateur down to experience, I actually create analytical tools for a major international retailer. These tools are mainly down to forecasting likely profit/loss of ranging decisions, but I dabble in a variety of other tools.
I'm self taught and I've been doing these odd bits and pieces for the last three years. What I lack in experience I make up for in ambition and effort (most days)
What I'm going to do is create an AI like system that can correctly identify objects by sight, and then to understand the relationship between objects.
I'm breaking this down into three stages
Seeing
Recognizing
Understanding
Seeing - Just as it sounds, making a computer see.
Recognizing - Not just seeing objects, but returning what that item is.
Understanding - Not just recognizing an object, but knowing what it is, and what it's purpose is.
These three stages have a few layers within themselves but I believe they get to the crux of what my aims are.
My ultimate aim is to create an intelligence that see's a number of objects, and draws understanding from seeing them together.
E.g
Seeing - A human can see
Recognizing - A human can see an onion, a packet of mince and tomatoes and knows them to be what they are
Understanding - A human can see an onion, a packet of mince and tomatoes and knows they work together to make bolognese sauce.
Today is research.
I think I need initially, some python packages for the coding and a webcam of course.
I want to re-iterate just in case. This is a vanity project, I have no experience with this kind of thing. I'll be feeling my way around, I have no overarching motivation for doing this, just for a bit of fun. And blogging because if I have an audience it'll help keep me honest and motivated. So would appreciate advice, questions or encouragement.
