Sports analytics is about observing, understanding and describing the game in an intelligent manner. In practice, this requires a fully automated, robust end-to-end pipeline, spanning from visual input, to player and group activities, to player and team evaluation to planning. Despite major advancements in computer vision and machine learning, today sports analytics solutions are limited to top leagues and are not widely available for downmarket leagues and youth sports. In this talk, Javan explains how his company has developed scalable and robust computer vision solutions to democratize sport analytics and offer pro-league-level insights to leagues with modest resources, including youth leagues. He highlights key challenges—such as the requirement for low-cost, low-latency processing and the need for robustness despite variations in venues. He discusses the approaches Sportlogiq tried and how it ultimately overcame these challenges, including the use of transformers and fusion of multiple type of data streams to maximize accuracy.

An unforeseen change in the input data is called “drift,” and may impact the accuracy of machine learning models. In this talk, Tragoudas presents a novel scheme for diagnosing data drift in the input streams of image classification neural networks. His proposed method for drift detection and quantification uses a threshold dictionary for the prediction probabilities of each class in the neural network model. The method is applicable to any drift type in images such as noise and weather effects, among others. Tragoudas shares experimental results on various data sets, drift types and neural network models to show that his proposed method estimates the drift magnitude with high accuracy, especially when the level of drift significantly impacts the model’s performance.

You have a killer idea that will change the world. You’ve thought through product-market fit and differentiation. You have seed funding and a world-beating team. Best of all, you’ve caught the attention of major players in your industry. You’ve reached peak “start-up”—that point of limitless possibility—when you go to bed with the same level of energy and enthusiasm you had when you woke. And then the first proof of concept starts… In this talk, Hartley lays out some of the pitfalls that await those building the next big thing. Using real examples, he shares some of the dos and don’ts, particularly when dealing with that big potential first customer. Hartley discusses the importance of end-to-end design, ensuring your product solves real-world problems. He explores how far the big companies will tell you to jump—and then jump again—for free. And, most importantly, how to build long-term partnerships with major corporations without relying on over-promising sales pitches.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2023/10/bias-in-computer-vision-its-bigger-than-facial-recognition-a-presentation-from-santa-clara-university/ Susan Kennedy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Santa Clara University, presents the “Bias in Computer Vision—It’s Bigger Than Facial Recognition!” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit. As AI is increasingly integrated into various industries, concerns about its potential to reproduce or exacerbate bias have become widespread. While the use of AI holds the promise of reducing bias, it can also have unintended consequences, particularly in high-stakes computer vision applications such as facial recognition. However, even seemingly low-stakes computer vision applications such as identifying potholes and damaged roads can also present ethical challenges related to bias. This talk explores how bias in computer vision often poses an ethical challenge, regardless of the stakes involved. Kennedy discusses the limitations of technical solutions aimed at mitigating bias, and why “bias-free” AI may not be achievable. Instead, she focuses on the importance of adopting a “bias-aware” approach to responsible AI design and explores strategies that can be employed to achieve this.
