This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The templates in a modern vision system are not designed — their weights are knobs like any others, sculpted by descent and backward blame until the templates that help prediction exist.
Show

Watch for
A learned template answers to prediction error, not to human ideas of what vision should notice.
