This ability to recognize a single concept represented in various contexts demonstrates CLIP\u2019s abstraction capabilities. Similar to a human brain, the capacity for abstraction allows a vision system to tie a series of images and text to a central theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open AI, the research company founded by Elon Musk, has just discovered that their artificial neural network CLIP shows behavior strikingly similar to a human brain.
