Pattern Analysis: Learned vs. Engineered
summary
Deep convolutional nets like AlexNet cut ImageNet error from ~25% to ~15% in 2012 and learn interpretable first‑layer kernels that mirror Gabor filters instead of handcrafted color averages. Visualizations show neurons that fire on faces, text, legs and wheels; some learned filters are flat and useless until models are tuned. On nonvisual data a recurrent model trained on MIT Reality Mining maps weekdays vs weekends into vector distances, revealing useful learned representations.
