33、“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes todayand 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model planes

34、 provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.

35、s an exceptionally creative mind at work.

54、 is difficult. “Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images，” says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University.Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm (计算程序) to do this for them.

55、They created a face­recognition algorithm on data sets, which contain images of nearly 1,000 children between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier 80 percen
