Abstract

Although artificial intelligence has advanced greatly so surpassed human performance in many tasks, interpretability for their processing and results still be a weakness because artificial intelligence is not able to learn Gestalt cognition, a unique phenomenon in humans. The Gestalt cognition also is an enhance version for well-known “Qunie’s uncertainty thesis”, and both implicit that human understanding of images and words is not well defined. Whether Gestalt cognition as unique cognitive patterns can be expressed by the deep neural networks or not is focus of this paper, and some potential networks models are discussed and further direction will be given.
