Understanding “Human Intent and Behavior” with Computer Vision
In this contributed article, editorial consultant Jelani Harper discusses how computer vision is one of the most eminent forms of statistical Artificial Intelligence in use today. Comprised of varying facets of object detection, facial recognition, image classification, and other techniques, it supports a range of pressing use cases from contact-less …
AI Under the Hood: Flippy the Robot
In this installment of “AI Under the Hood” I introduce "Flippy" by Miso Robotics. Flippy works in fast-food kitchens, operating a frying station for example. The product was decades in the making in terms of research in robotics and machine learning. Flippy is an amalgamation of motors, sensor, chips and …
Hitting the Gym With Neural Networks: Implementing a CNN to Classify Gym Equipment
Will a network trained with fake data be able to generalize to the real world?Lauren Holzbauer was an Insight Fellow in Summer 2018.Today, I don’t think twice about walking into any gym, assessing the equipment, and throwing a really good workout together, but it hasn’t always been that way. The …
Convolutional Neural Networks Explained…with American Ninja Warrior
Let’s use our ninja skills to figure out what CNNs are really doing.Lauren Holzbauer was an Insight Fellow in Summer 2018.By this time, many people know that the convolutional neural network (CNN) is a go-to tool for computer vision. But why exactly are CNNs so well-suited for computer vision tasks, …
Can ML/AI help regulate traffic?
Imagine that you can avoid city traffics entirely, by using an AI/ML app that will help you predict future congestion... this is an article about how to go about that!
How to train your own YOLOv3 detector from scratch
This comprehensive and easy three-step tutorial lets you train your own custom image detector using YOLOv3. The only requirement is basic familiarity with Python.Our input data set are images of cats (without annotations).As an example, we learn how to detect faces of cats in cat pictures. Given the omnipresence of …
Deep learning for improved breast cancer monitoring using a portable ultrasound scanner
About 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetimes. It’s the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical imaging technique used for breast cancer screening. At Insight, I worked on a consulting project with a …
