Behind Automatic Video Semantic Segmentation

AI methods and models have enabled a huge leap in our understanding of how images are processed in the brain.
We used to describe visual neurons as “edge detectors” and “face detectors”. Using deep neural networks, we have
discovered that images like these (which really can’t be described with words) are richer models of single neurons in
our visual system. I liken these AI-enabled descriptions of neural function, perhaps ironically, to a whole new kind of
vocabulary that neuroscientists can now use to explain the visual system. (Images from various papers including a,b, c, d, e , f)
