100 Examples of Pareidolia – Seeing Faces in Everyday Objects

Wir kennen es alle: Faces in Places, Pareidolie. Hier 100 passend schöne Beispiele dafür.

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists.

Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, the Man in the Moon, the Moon rabbit, hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds and hearing indistinct voices in random noise such as that produced by air conditioners or fans.

Bird Migration Explorer

Sehr schön gestalteter Data-Porn beim Bird Migration Explorer der National Audubon Society. Eine interaktive Karte der westlichen Hemisphäre, die die saisonalen Migrationsmuster von mehr als 450 Vogelarten zeigt.

The Bird Migration Explorer captures the joy of birds and the wonder of migration through a series of interactive maps built using the latest and best-available migration and conservation science.

Using this unique digital platform, visitors to the Bird Migration Explorer can learn about the full annual cycle for 458 species of migratory birds that regularly breed in the United States and Canada and use areas in Latin America and the Caribbean during other times of the year.

KI lernt, einen 100-Meter-Sprint zu laufen

Aller Anfang ist schwer, aber irgendwann läuft es dann. Irgendwie. Und unterhaltsam ist das allemal.

In this video 5 AI agents compete to learn how to run 100m the fastest. The AI were trained using Deep Reinforcement Learning, a method of Machine Learning which involves rewarding the agent for doing something correctly, and punishing it for doing anything incorrectly. Each agent’s actions are controlled by a Neural Network that’s updated after each attempt in order to try to give the agents more rewards and less punishments over time. Check the pinned comment for more information on how the AI was trained!
