2025/12 - Looking Inside Monty’s “Brain”

@rmounir walks through how Monty populates and explores the hypothesis space for object and pose recognition with interactive visualizations. He shows how Monty prunes and samples new hypotheses as part of its sensorimotor process. He also shows what symmetric objects look like in Monty’s hypothesis space.
