One \u2014 called <a href=\"https:\/\/quickdraw.withgoogle.com\/\">Quick, Draw!<\/a> \u2014 gives you a prompt to draw an image of a written word or phrase in under 20 seconds with your mouse cursor in such a way that a neural network can identify it. It\u2019s both a hilarious and fascinating exercise with broader implications for how AI can self-learn over time in key AI research areas like image recognition and optical character recognition.<\/p>\n<p>Quick, Draw! is a great way to familiarize yourself with how neural networks work to identify objects and text in photos, which is one of the most common forms of AI-guided software techniques we see daily on platform\u2019s like Facebook and Google Photos. As you start to craft the doodle, Quick, Draw!\u2019s software automaton will start yelling out words and phrases it thinks you\u2019re trying to illustrate. As you get closer to the finished product, the voice starts to become a good indication of how your drawing could be misinterpreted as something else. If you\u2019re on point, however, the neural network will hone in on the object and guess correctly.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/11\/15\/13641876\/google-ai-experiments-quick-draw-image-recognition-game\">http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/11\/15\/13641876\/google-ai-experi...ition-game<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of Google\u2019s slew of artificial intelligence announcements today, the company is releasing a number of AI web experiments powered by its cloud services that anyone can go and play with.
