New York University researchers trained an AI system using 60 hours of first-person video recordings from children aged 6 months to 2 years. The AI employed self-supervised learning to understand actions and changes like a child. The study’s findings suggest AI can efficiently learn from limited, targeted data, challenging conventional AI training methods.

Researchers from New York University Develop AI Inspired by Children’s Learning Processes
The team at New York University utilized first-person video recordings from children aged 6 months to 2 years to train an AI system. The AI model, inspired by self-supervised learning, learns from the data without explicit labels, similar to how children learn from their environment.
Key Findings
- Action Recognition Performance: The AI models demonstrated high effectiveness in recognizing actions from videos and performed well on fine-grained action recognition tasks.
- Comparison with Kinetics-700 Dataset: The models trained on child-centric video data performed competitively when compared to models trained on a diverse dataset of YouTube clips.
- Video Interpolation Skill: The AI showed an ability to predict missing segments within a video sequence, indicating an understanding of temporal dynamics and continuity in visual scenes.
- Robust Object Representations: The study found that video-trained models developed more resilient object representations than those trained on static images, highlighting the value of temporal information in learning versatile models.
- Data Scaling and Model Performance: The research demonstrated that increased video data improved the models’ performance, suggesting that access to realistic data enhances model capabilities.
