Human memory is notoriously unreliable. Even people with the sharpest facial-recognition skills can only remember so much.
It’ s tough to quantify how good a person is at remembering. No one really knows how many different faces someone can recall, for example, but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands—based on the number of acquaintances a person might have.
Machines aren’ t limited this way. Give the right computer a massive database of faces, and it can process what it sees—then recognize a face it’ s told to find—with remarkable speed and precision. This skill is what supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21st century. It’ s also what makes contemporary surveillance systems so scary.
The thing is, machines still have limitations when it comes to facial recognition. And scientists are only just beginning to understand what those constraints are. To begin to figure out how computers are struggling, researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces—they call it MegaFace—and tested a variety of facial-recognition algorithms (算法) as they scaled up in complexity. The idea was to test the machines on a database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 700,000 different people—and not just a large database featuring a relatively small number of different faces, more consistent with what’s been used in other research.
As the databases grew, machine accuracy dipped across the board. Algorithms that were right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13,000-image database, for example, were accurate about 70% of the time when confronted with 1 million images. That’ s still pretty good, says one of the researchers, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman. " Much better than we expected," she said.
Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike—either doppelgangers (长相极相似的人) , whom the machine would have trouble identifying as two separate people, or the same person who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting, whom the machine would incorrectly view as separate people.
"Once we scale up, algorithms must be sensitive to tiny changes in identities and at the same time invariant to lighting, pose, age," Kemelmacher-Shlizerman said.
The trouble is, for many of the researchers who ’ d like to design systems to address these challenges, massive datasets for experimentation just don’ t exist—at least, not in formats that are accessible to academic researchers. Training sets like the ones Google and Facebook have are private. There are no public databases that contain millions of faces. MegaFace’ s creators say it’ s the largest publicly available facial-recognition dataset out there.
" An ultimate face recognition algorithm should perform with billions of people in a dataset," the researchers wrote. [br] Compared with human memory, machines can______.
选项
A、identify human faces more efficiently
B、tell a friend from a mere acquaintance
C、store an unlimited number of human faces
D、perceive images invisible to the human eye
答案
C
解析
细节题。原文第一、二段指出,人的记忆是不可靠的,能记住的面孔也有限。第三段第一句话指出,机器不受这方面的限制。由此可知,机器可以储存的人脸图像是无限的,故答案为C。B、D两项原文均未提及,故排除。A项与原文不符,文中只是说给电脑输入一个庞大的人脸数据库,它能够以不可思议的速度和精确度识别出要求它识别的面孔,并没有和人进行比较,故排除。
