The principal components of natural images
Abstract
A neural net was used to analyse samples of natural images and text. For the natural images, components resemble derivatives of Gaussian operators, similar to those found in visual cortex and inferred from psychophysics. While the results from natural images do not depend on scale, those from text images are highly scale dependent. Convolution of one of the text components with an original image shows that it is sensitive to inter-word gaps.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
