Quick, Draw: Google Offers Users to Teach a Neural Network to Recognize Drawn Images

Google launches a web experiment where users need to draw objects for the neural network to recognize.

The experiment called Quick, Draw! offers users a task — to make six sketches, each of them in under 20 seconds. In process, the neural network will be guessing what exactly the drawing depicts, and after 20 seconds will make a conclusion whether it can recognize the object that the user was requested to draw or not.

After all six tasks are completed, the website informs the users how many of them were successful, what in the opinion of the neural network the user’s drawings look like and what the neural network thinks the drawing for this assignment should look like.

Quick, Draw! is one of the experiments with machine learning and neural networks launched by Google. Other experiments are available here: one instrument shows the connection between paintings, illustration, sculptures, and photographs from different epochs, the other creates a 3D map with different art works.
