Computer Vision News - January 2020

Summary Artificial Intelligence 30 The year in AI: 2019 ML/AI advances recap: Let's wrap up the year in AI with this great post by Xavier Amatriain. Xavier has summarized what (in his "own biased view") he thinks are the biggest headlines of AI in 2019 . He does it every year and we think that his 2019 vintage is excellent. Don't miss it, and don't miss the evergreen slide with Yann Lecun's famous cake analogy . you will also read about the “ AI framework war ”, fought by two main contenders, namely Google’s TensorFlow and Facebook’s Pytorch . Read... Yann LeCun: AR glasses will be the killer app of energy-efficient ML More about Yann LeCun. BTW, did you read the interview he gave us? He's in the news again for a great talk at NIPS (or NeurIPS or whatever) in which he gave more than a hint about Facebook's ambitions in the AR glasses area, where they have teamed with optical giant Luxottica hoping to bring about all-day wearable Augmented Reality glasses . Many more reports from NIPS in this nice article from VentureBeat. Read... Computer Vision News has found great new stories, written somewhere else by somebody else. We share them with you, adding a short comment. Enjoy! ML and OCT Combine for Early- Stage Colon Cancer Detection Some medical stuff now. Photonics.com published a very nice review about Y. Zeng et al.'s work “Real-time colorectal cancer diagnosis using PR-OCT with deep learning”. RSIP Vision works with many clients on the same healthcare challenges, so we know how hot this topic is. This research team's neural network successfully detected the patterns that identified normal and neoplastic colorectal tissue. Read... and Talk with us about your Medical Imaging projects!
