How to pronounce "chubby"

The first step towards this goal is to teach a computer to see objects,

the building block of the visual world.

In its simplest terms, imagine this teaching process

as showing the computers some training images

of a particular object, let's say cats,

and designing a model that learns from these training images.

How hard can this be?

After all, a cat is just a collection of shapes and colors,

and this is what we did in the early days of object modeling.

We'd tell the computer algorithm in a mathematical language

that a cat has a round face, a chubby body,

two pointy ears, and a long tail,

and that looked all fine.

But what about this cat?
