New AI Sees Like a Human, Filling in the Blanks

How an AI Takes a Few Glimpses and Infers the Whole
A new AI agent developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin takes a few “glimpses” of its surroundings, representing less than 20 percent of the full 360 degree view, and infers the rest of the whole environment.

Computer scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have taught an artificial intelligence agent how to do something that usually only humans can do – take a few quick glimpses around and infer its whole environment, a skill necessary for the development o...
