Computer vision 'boss'

US experts have launched a full-fledged computer system that can deliver jobs to people through an increasingly popular form.

Daniel Barowy, a computer expert at the University of Massachusetts, has created a system called 'AutoMan' that is capable of distributing laborious "swallowing" jobs to employees via crowd platforms. -sourcing like Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

According to PC World, Mechanical Turk is a web-based job market that helps companies find people to do things that machines offer, such as recognizing a photo, reading a product to write a word .

AutoMan is suitable for applications like VizWiz,
Help blind people recognize the world around them

"I'd rather have a computer than my boss to obey an idiot's orders ," explains Barowy.

Artificial Intelligence is improving over time, but computers still find it difficult to complete tasks that are easy for humans to read, such as reading a car number plate or jokingly explaining it. New Scientist.

To deal with this situation, people can post those jobs on platforms like Mechanical Turk to hire others to complete. And Barowy experts want to automate the whole process, so AutoMan was born.

'We thought it was a new kind of computer. It changes everything we can do , "says Barowy.

Unlike other crowd-sourcing platforms, AutoMan does not attempt to predict the credibility of employees through their previous exhibits.

Instead, if you're not sure you've found the right solution, keep looking for the job, increasing your paycheck until you get the best result.

AutoMan can be used for applications such as VizWiz, allowing the blind to take pictures of the surrounding landscape and get a description of it.

Algorithms can integrate with this application, send pictures to those who need work online, choose the best description and send to the person who is waiting for results.
