Looking for an apple in a bowl of fruit, how do you locate the apple? Your brain must correctly bind together the location and features of each fruit. This “binding problem” is a significant challenge for artificial neural networks for object or scene recognition, which often have to add in attention mechanisms or memory-augmented architectures to mitigate the problem.
