Which sketch dataset are they using for the "Quick, Draw!" experiment?

We have created our own dataset for this experiment based on internal data collection. Its currently a rather small dataset, some categories only have a handful of samples, but works anyway. Jonas (developer behind quickdraw)

https://aiexperiments.withgoogle.com/quick-draw.. . this is just too cool. Basically, you draw a picture and see it guess what you are drawing. Worth 2 minutes of your time!

Apparently it's supposed to learn as people supply more things it doesn't recognize? This sounds familiar... [1] 1: http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-cha...

A future where all the drawings must be Swastikas?

It asked me to draw a tree. I drew a palm tree. It said "palm tree" on the bottom, but then said it failed. I drew the palm tree because I've studied AI and that's a classic AI mistake. If you go to Hawaii and ask students to draw a tree, almost all of them will draw a palm tree. Ask them to draw a bird and it looks like a parrot (instead of the robin you see typically in the "lower 48"). It's interesting that this s…

Yes, and this is an interesting way to get more labelled data.

It's so interesting to see how these random Google websites differ. For instance, this website has been made with Bootstrap and jQuery. Weird choice already given the internal tools they have at their disposal. Weirder still, the grid of videos doesn't use the Bootstrap grid at all. The elements are set to display: inline-block and then their width (and height, which we'll get to) is adjusted every time the window re…

I don't find this very surprising - I've seen a similar level of framework heterogeneity even at much smaller companies.

What is also impressive is that it doesn't feel like a complete black box. It takes you to a page after you're done drawing and tells you it saw something else in your drawings, with illustrations of why it thought of other objects. It also gives you a list of drawings by other people that it used to learn about the object.

It also fails when people have been giving it wrong data.

I had to draw an aircraft transport, I draw a reasonable one. What it was expecting, instead, was a plane, As most people just drew that.

In some of the experiments they use t-SNE. To me t-SNE is sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from magic. https://lvdmaaten.github.io/tsne/

I can give a shot at explaining TSNE over skype if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer. I've seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJVL80Gg3lA and I think I understand how it works but still think the results are amazing.

I would like to mention I have used a similar service by Microsoft. https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/computer-... Would be interesting to for example submit the same blurry image with text to both services and see which one has the best algorithm to extract text.

I just did a test. I took picture of my monitor with this thread open. then sent it to google and microsofts OCR API.

Microsofts won and got far more things right. here is the output of the ocr scans: http://pastebin.com/YuRinwN2

here is the sample I submitted: https://i.imgsafe.org/c3147b06a3.jpg
