Common Sense Reasoning

Learning Objective: Explain the knowledge a computer would need to solve a naive physics reasoning problem.

Enduring Understanding: Computers can reason about physical phenomena using naive physics inference rules, which formalize our intuitive understanding of concepts such as mass, volume, forces, and motion. At present, computers are not very good at this.

Unpacked: Naive physics includes knowledge of conservation laws. Pouring a large container of water into a smaller container will cause an overflow because small containers have less volume and the amount of water doesn't change. By grades 6-8 students should have mastered conservation laws; see this article on Piaget conservation tasks. Naive physics also includes inference rules for reasoning about forces, such as "When a heavy thing hits a light thing, the light thing moves."

Activity: Propose a reasoning problem that requires knowledge of naive physics to solve, and say what that knowledge is.

Let us start with some styling tips in street fashion:

  1. Mix High and Low: Combine high-end pieces with affordable items to create an eclectic and personalized style. Pairing a designer jacket with vintage jeans or sneakers can add a unique touch to your outfit.

  2. Layering: Experiment with layering different clothing pieces to add depth and dimension to your look. This could include wearing a graphic tee under a flannel shirt, topped with a denim jacket or bomber.

  3. Accessorize: Accessorizing is key in street fashion. Add statement accessories like chunky chains, hats, sunglasses, or bold belts to elevate your outfit and make a statement.

  4. Play with Patterns and Prints: Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and prints for a bold and eye-catching look. Try pairing striped pants with a floral top or layering a plaid shirt over a graphic tee.

Fashion is about what you wear but more about how you wear. The key is to be creative. In the picture, the lady is wearing vintage swimwear on the street. Swimwear is not limited to the beach! Can AI also understand fashion? Or it is a pure mistake in the eye of AI?

AI seeks relationships between objects but often lacks common sense. In the given image, a woman is depicted wearing a swimsuit against a blue backdrop. There's a significant chance that the AI might interpret the scene as a seaside location rather than a bustling street in Tokyo.

To avoid such errors, we could implement contextual clues and additional layers of analysis. For instance, incorporating geographical data or metadata about the image's location could help the AI understand the urban context. Additionally, training the AI with a diverse dataset that includes various scenarios and contextual information can improve its ability to accurately interpret images. Finally, integrating feedback mechanisms to correct misinterpretations and continually refining the AI's algorithms through iterative learning processes can enhance its comprehension of complex visual scenes.
