[snip speculation on robot vehicles' software]
Now you could claim that, abstractly considered, what the robots are
doing as comparing/matching memory and perception, but IMO that kind of
language carries a variety of semantic freight that interferes with
grasping what's actually going on.

Whether what the human visual system does when it recognises faces could
be abstractly represented in these or similar algorithms is not at all
clear to me. Perhaps Curt can comment.


Or maybe 70 years of research on stimulus control is relevant.



It would be if the robots were programmed to learn how to see. AIUI, each
vehicle in the competition implemented a particular strategy of
calculating its path over the designated course.IOW, the designers started
with knowledge about what information needed to be acquired, and went from
there. AIUI, humans and other mammals begin with a VC that preferentially
responds to certain inputs, and which develops as the infant learns to see
its environment (ie, to discriminate visual and correlated cues more and
more subtly.) The robot vehicles were not learning machines, even though
some of them apparently were programmed to update the map (==data array)
they used to steer by. Updating data arrays may be needed for machine
learning (IMO, that's still a debatable point), but it's not learning.

The post to which I responded had nothing to do with robotic vehicles. That
was a different thread. This thread had to do with recognition of faces in
humans - at least that was what the original poster asked about.
