Exciting work led by @vayzenb.bsky.social showing the robustness of children's object recognition and how they surpass most state-of-the-art ANNs
My paper with @stellalourenco.bsky.social ‬is now out in Science Advances!

We found that children have robust object recognition abilities that surpass many ANNs. Models only outperformed kids when their training far exceeded what a child could experience in their lifetime
