Paintings in our Collective Minds

On Friday, Professor Sanjoy Dasgupta guest spoke about machine learning and how a computer can determine handwritten numbers. For example, the post office uses software which has to determine the addresses written on an envelope. However, not everyone writes the number 5 exactly the same. Some may curl more that it could be considered by a computer as the number six. There are different algorithms that can be used to most effectively and accurately determine the values.  Similar algorithms can be use to make connections/relationships between other things such as analogy problems (king is to queen as man is to ?).
