Despite advancements, AI has yet to achieve continuous, lifelong learning and the ability to generalize from experience.

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the ...
