Mar 27, 2016 at 15:45 comment added Dave @virmaior feature selection (machinelearningmastery.com/an-introduction-to-feature-selection) is an even more relevant analog to "noticing" especially when it is executed "on-line" in repsonse to a particular test case (aclweb.org/anthology/P15-1015). I'm inclined to agree that these types of algs. are probably not models or simulations of biological noticing; but in the cases where they are used, they apply, in the terms of the overall framework of learning, a similar role to noticing.

Sep 25, 2015 at 8:09 comment added virmaior I'm not sure I follow you on the use of "notice" there. Noticing to me seems to be a faculty that machines lack. Having a hard-coded detection sensor seems to be completely the opposite of at least one normal sense of noticing. And machines seem (and my knowledge here might be limited) to merely learn to filter out detection information that doesn't correlate. We seem (at least I think) to do the opposite at least on the level of consciousness and call this "noticing"

Sep 24, 2015 at 12:02 comment added Dave @virmaior I interpret the fact that at the end of training the resulting model structures encode which features of the problem domain are relevant for the task at had as "noticing which features are relevant"; at least in an analogical sense.

Sep 24, 2015 at 0:26 comment added virmaior There seems to be a potential disanalogy in your aside about bird watchers insofar as the meaning of "notice" when applied to a human subject might be dissimilar to anything machine learning algorithms do. Or to put it another way, the "noticing" seems to need to be programmed into a program in a way at least the programmer fundamentally understands, but birdwatchers notice in a way they may not understand.
