Less Details

The right data and visual AI development processes are the difference between getting your AI models on the road or stuck going nowhere in R&D. Your ML teams are spending an average of 40% of their time wrangling data – without understanding its implication in model performance. But how do you connect your data and your models? What about your datasets’ impact on model performance or out in the real world? How do you automate the AI workflows that are stealing time from your ML teams every day? Voxel51 focuses on how to refine data and models in an automation-forward visual AI development process.

Specifically:

  • How to bring your models to your data (instead of vice versa)
  • Common dataset management challenges (and how to get around them!)
  • Annotation process management in the context of your data
  • How data visualization is critical to dataset and model development
