Webinar Recording Acquiring a dataset is just the beginning; the real challenge lies in refining it for training a Computer Vision model. Bloated, low-quality datasets waste resources and hamper model performance. The key to effective curation? Active Learning pipelines. By employing Active Learning, teams can intelligently select data that significantly impacts the model's performance. This method focuses on the model's current needs, ensuring each data point is impactful. The result is a streamlined annotation process and a more accurate, efficient Computer Vision model. Here are the key resources from the webinar: [Guide] How to curate your data [Case Study] See how one customer increased mAP by 20% through reducing their dataset size by 35% with visual data curation

Bridging the chasm between ‘Just AI’ and ‘Useful AI’ can be challenging, however it’s apparent that leveraging valuable data is crucial to this. As access to data increases, computer vision teams need to produce informative and reliable training data as a priority, one approach is through developing active learning pipelines. From data curation to annotation and beyond, this webinar will provide you with the tools to implement active learning pipelines and level up your computer vision models Here are the key resources from the webinar: [Guide] How to curate your data [Case Study] How one customer improved per-class performance by 67%

Foundation models, like Meta’s Segment Anything Model (SAM), have provided a host of benefits for data and ML teams looking to expedite the production of training data whilst improving the quality. This webinar walks you through how to go one step further and fine-tune foundation models, in particular Meta AI's SAM, to maximize relevance to your specific use case Here are the key resources from the webinar: Encord Active GitHub - our open source tool that allowed us to conduct our research The Google Colab Notebook used in yesterday’s session Our ML Solutions Engineer’s Fine-Tune SAM blog post

The European Parliament recently voted to adopt the EU AI Act, marking the world’s first piece of legislation on artificial intelligence. The legislation intends to ban systems with an “unacceptable level of risk” and establish guardrails for developing and deploying AI systems into production. We've put together this learning pack to equip you with all the resources you need to understand how the AI Act will impact you, whether or not you're based in the EU. From webinar recordings to the most informative blogs, sign up now to get access to these crucial resources.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT and CLIP releases have revolutionised the ways in which organisations and individual contributors can ship features to their users. At Encord, we’ve focused on how the neural network (CLIP) and LLM (ChatGPT) can be combined to build an effective and powerful Semantic Visual Search. Frederik Hvilshøj, Lead ML Engineer with a PhD in Generative AI, joins Eric Landau, CEO and Co-Founder of Encord, to provide actionable insights into how to build this function from scratch. Here are the key resources from the webinar: Collaboration notebook used by Frederik CLIP [paper/repo] ChatGPT [product updates, documentation] Encord blog: Lessons Learned: Employing ChatGPT as an ML Engineer for a Day Encord blog: What is vector similarity search?

This edition of Encord’s Fireside Chats sees Victor Prisacariu, of the University of Oxford and Niantic, sit down with Eric Landau, Encord’s CEO and Co-Founder, to discuss recent developments in AI computer vision and machine learning. Victor’s focus currently lies in real-time Augmented Reality on mobile and wearable platforms, having co-founded 6D.ai which was later acquired by Niantic in March 2020. With his wide and varied experience of the industry, Victor touched crucial areas of AR as well as discussing his work at Niantic in-depth.

Alexandre Bonnet, Solutions Engineer at Encord, walks through our latest feature: Workflows. Workflows allow ML teams to build fully customizable and automated ML pipelines to improve the efficiency of creating high-quality training data. Workflows are easy to create: Step 1: Choose from the library of 6 components (Start, Annotate, Router, Review, Archive, Complete) Step 2: Assign Annotators and Reviewers Step 3: Create arbitrarily complex workflows

With the proliferation of use cases for ChatGPT, we set out to investigate whether ChatGPT could be used to make improvements in other AI systems. We tested it on a practical problem in a modality of AI in which it has not been trained on - computer vision - and reported the results. ChatGPT's suggestions achieved on average a 10.1% improvement in precision and a 34.4% improvement in recall over our random sample, using a purely data-centric metric-driven approach. Eric Landau, Encord's Co-founder and CEO, sits down with the Data-Centric AI Community to share more about the process & lessons learned! __ Eric Landau is the co-founder and CEO of Encord, an active learning platform for computer vision. Before Encord, he spent nearly a decade in high-frequency trading at DRW where he was the lead quantitative researcher on a global equity delta-one desk and put thousands of models into production. He holds a M.S. in Applied Physics from Harvard University, M.S. in Electrical Engineering, and B.S. in Physics from Stanford University.

Encord's, CEO & Co-founder, Eric Landau sat down with Luc Vincent, VP of AI at Meta & also Executive Advisor at Encord - as he took us through some of the lessons learned from his career, from building Lyft's first autonomous vehicle organization, to Google's geo imagery division, and now the metaverse at Meta. Luc also shared: The challenges and lessons learned from setting up & scaling world-class computer vision orgs that are pushing the boundaries of AI The working environment and culture in the early days of Google The ML applications and promising projects he's most excited about going into the next decade And what it'll take for the winners to get ahead.
