To most, they consist of pixels only, but digital images, like any other form of content, can be mined for data by computers. Further, they can also be analyzed afterward. Use image processing methods, including computers, to retrieve the information from still photographs, and even videos. Here we are going to discuss everything you must know about computer vision.
There are two forms-Machine Vision, which is this tech’s more “traditional” type, and Computer Vision (CV), a digital world offshoot. While the first is mostly for industrial use, as an example are cameras on a conveyor belt in an industrial plant, the second is to teach computers to extract and understand “hidden” data inside digital images and videos.
Facebook this August said it was open-sourcing its work to improve its Computer Visiontechnology software for users further. This image was posted by FB Research scientist Piotr Dollar to explain the difference between human and computer vision.
Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and innovations in deep learning and neural networks, the field has been able to take big leaps in recent years, and in some tasks related to detection and labeling of objects has been able to surpass humans.
One of the driving factors behind computer vision development is the amount of data we produce now, which will then get used to educate and develop computer vision.
Distributed Models Over Distributed Data with MLflow, Pyspark, and PandasDatabricks
Does more data always improve ML models? Is it better to use distributed ML instead of single node ML?
In this talk I will show that while more data often improves DL models in high variance problem spaces (with semi or unstructured data) such as NLP, image, video more data does not significantly improve high bias problem spaces where traditional ML is more appropriate. Additionally, even in the deep learning domain, single node models can still outperform distributed models via transfer learning.
Data scientists have pain points running many models in parallel automating the experimental set up. Getting others (especially analysts) within an organization to use their models Databricks solves these problems using pandas udfs, ml runtime and MLflow.
II-SDV 2017: The Next Era: Deep Learning for Biomedical ResearchDr. Haxel Consult
Deep learning is hot, making waves, delivering results, and is somewhat of a buzzword today. There is a desire to apply deep learning to anything that is digital. Unlike the brain, these artificial neural networks have a very strict predefined structure. The brain is made up of neurons that talk to each other via electrical and chemical signals. We do not differentiate between these two types of signals in artificial neural networks. They are essentially a series of advanced statistics based exercises that review the past to indicate the likely future. Another buzzword that was used for the last few years across all industries is “big data”. In biomedical and health sciences, both unstructured and structured information constitute "big data". On the one hand deep learning needs lot of data whereas “big data" has value only when it generates actionable insight. Given this, these two areas are destined to be married. The couple is made for each other. The time is ripe now for a synergistic association that will benefit the pharmaceutical companies. It may be only a short time before we have vice presidents of machine learning or deep learning in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. This presentation will review the prominent deep learning methods and discuss these techniques for their usefulness in biomedical and health informatics.
Designing a neural network architecture for image recognitionShandukaniVhulondo
The document discusses the design of a basic neural network architecture for image recognition. It begins by outlining a simple design with dense layers but notes this does not work well for images. Convolutional layers are introduced to help detect patterns regardless of location. Max pooling and dropout layers are also discussed to make the network more efficient and robust. The document provides examples of how these various layer types work and combines them into a basic convolutional block that can be stacked for more complex images.
This document discusses best practices for setting up development and test sets for machine learning models. It recommends that the dev and test sets:
1) Should reflect the actual data distribution you want your model to perform well on, rather than just being a random split of your training data.
2) Should come from the same data distribution. Having mismatched dev and test sets makes progress harder to measure.
3) The dev set should be large enough, typically thousands to tens of thousands of examples, to detect small performance differences as models are improved. The test set size depends on desired confidence in overall performance.

Deep neural networks learn hierarchical representations of data through multiple layers of feature extraction. Lower layers identify low-level features like edges while higher layers integrate these into more complex patterns and objects. Deep learning models are trained on large labeled datasets by presenting examples, calculating errors, and adjusting weights to minimize errors over many iterations. Deep learning has achieved human-level performance on tasks like image recognition due to its ability to leverage large amounts of training data and learn representations automatically rather than relying on manually designed features.

My talk at http://web11.org/
Numerous talks, news articles and blog posts have been written about impact of recent advances in technology to our society. To a layman, it is all mix of "good news/bad news" show: from improvements in transport, agriculture or health, to jobs disappearing, or wealth inequality, just to name a few. But to techies like myself, the real question is somehow different: How far we can go?.
This document discusses machine learning. It defines machine learning as designing algorithms that extract valuable information from data. It states that machine learning is useful for problems where existing solutions require fine-tuning or many rules, complex problems traditional methods can't solve, and environments that are changing. Examples of machine learning tasks are given, such as image classification using convolutional neural networks, detecting tumors using convolutional neural networks, automatically classifying news articles using natural language processing, and creating chatbots or personal assistants using natural language processing and question-answering modules.
The document provides guidance for days 90-100 of a 100 Days of Data Science Challenge, suggesting focusing on reviewing and revising one's progress during this time. It recommends reviewing goals and objectives, reflecting on strengths and challenges, reviewing completed project work, seeking feedback, and revising one's project plan based on learnings and feedback to stay motivated and on track, and identify areas for continued focus and improvement.
The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been revitalized in this decade, primarily due to the large-scale application of Deep Learning (DL) and other Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. This has been most evident in applications like computer vision, natural language processing, and game bots. However, extraordinary successes within a short period of time have also had the unintended consequence of causing a sharp difference of opinion in research and industrial communities regarding the capabilities and limitations of deep learning. A few questions you might have heard being asked (or asked yourself) include:
a. We don’t know how Deep Neural Networks make decisions, so can we trust them?
b. Can Deep Learning deal with highly non-linear continuous systems with millions of variables?
c. Can Deep Learning solve the Artificial General Intelligence problem?
The goal of this seminar is to provide a 1000-feet view of Deep Learning and hopefully answer the questions above. The seminar will touch upon the evolution, current state of the art, and peculiarities of Deep Learning, and share thoughts on using Deep Learning as a tool for developing power system solutions.

SC5:n Head of Designin Juho Paasosen esitys ICTexpossa 23.4.2015.
While application security will always be an application space problem that's ultimately up to programmers to solve, new techniques in modern browsers can help mitigate vulnerability surface area when bugs enter the playing field unnoticed. Besides the obvious transport level security provided by HTTPS, CSP and Sandboxed Iframes provide solid mechanisms for setting rules to help the browser help you.
Engineering HTML5 Applications for Better PerformanceSC5.io
One second page loads, 100ms UI response time and 60fps animations - even if today's browsers are super fast, meeting these performance goals can be tricky, particularly for mobile browsers.
This presentation outlines some tools & techniques to help to design web apps with performance in mind.
SC5 and A-Lehdet just launched a responsive and adaptive website for Tuulilasi, the Finnish media authority for tech reviews of cars and other gadgets. This website relies heavily on search engine traffic, so we needed to support server side rendering. On the other hand we really wanted to use a single page app, but we didn't want to duplicate efforts.
This talk shows why the ability to share code between the browser and the server is the best thing since sliced bread. We leveraged this possibility to develop a platform that allows us to run the same application in both environments, ultimately achieving a single page app that also caters to robots.
Engineering HTML5 Applications for Better Performance - a presentation held by Lauri Svan / SC5 at Goto Aarhus International Software Development Conference.
Traditional web services are considered to be slow. The new APIs introduced by HTML5 applications do not automatically perform any better, but provide means for writing them in the same way as native applications.
We suggest to engineer the HTML5 applications the same ways as your native applications. That is, measure them using the same performance metrics, and solving some of the performance bottlenecks in the same ways as you would do for a native app.
This document discusses using a proxy server to render single page applications for search engines and legacy browsers. It introduces the concept of a server-side backbone that runs the same backbone application code on both the client and server. This allows rendering the initial HTML on the server to avoid problems with robots and speeds up loading for users. It also discusses some of the challenges in implementing this approach like emulating the DOM and browser APIs on the server. Overall it presents server-side rendering as a way to solve crawlability and legacy browser support problems for single page apps.
A Lecture given in Aalto University course "Design of WWW Services".
Single page app is already several years old web application paradigm that is now gaining traction due to the interest towards HTML5 and particularly cross-platform mobile (web) applications. The presentation overviews the single page application paradigm and compares it with other web app paradigms.
The presentation uses Backbone.js as the sample and gives practical tips on how to best structure Backbone.js applications. It contains an extensive set of tips and links in the notes section.
The reader is adviced to download the presentation for better readability of the notes.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

2. MACHINE LEARNING NEEDS DATA TO WORK
The more, the better. But what if you don’t have a lot of data to work with, and
no time to collect more? Is ML still an option?
3. IN SOME CASES, YES.
For general regression and classification problems such as face detection and
image recognition, there are lots (but still not enough) of freely available
datasets online that you can use to train your own models.
12. LOTS MORE ON KAGGLE
https://www.kaggle.com/datasets
13. INSTEAD OF TRAINING MODELS YOURSELF,
YOU CAN ALSO USE PRE-TRAINED ONES
If you use a well known dataset such as MNIST or CIFAR-10, chances are
someone’s already trained a neural network, random forest, or some other
learning algorithm on it with high accuracy.
14. BUT WHAT IF WE HAVE A SPECIFIC PROBLEM
FOR WHICH NO PRE-TRAINED MODEL EXISTS?
Can we somehow leverage the information learned by some pre-trained
model and adapt it to our specific use case?
15. EXAMPLE
Say we want to build a food classifier that reliably determine if an image
contains one of two Finnish dishes: fried baltic herring or fried perch?
A model pre-trained on Food 101 has learned a lot about what a fish looks like,
but the dataset doesn’t include images of fried baltic herring or fried perch.
Could we use the wisdom the model has learned about fish in order to make
building our custom model easier?
16. YES, AND IT’S CALLED TRANSFER LEARNING
The basic idea is to take a pre-trained model that has already learning useful
representations and tailor it to a custom use case.
17. TRANSFER LEARNING, IN A NUTSHELL
Say you have a pre-trained neural network that you would like to adapt to
your use case. To do transfer learning:
1. Chop off the neurons in the last layer of the model
2. Replace neurons with new ones, one neuron per class you want to predict
(or just one neuron in total if doing regression)
3. Finish training using a dataset of labelled images specific to your problem
Why would you want to do this?
18. ONE MAJOR REASON
You need less labelled data. A lot less. Usually, 50-100 labelled examples is
more than enough.
19. HOW DOES ONE IMPLEMENT TRANSFER
LEARNING?
You can do transfer learning quite easily in code using Keras, MXNet,
TensorFlow, CNTK etc: download pre-trained model, freeze weights, remove
last layer, add new layer.
There are, however, ready-made, zero-coding-required cloud services that
can do it for you.
