Apr 30, 2021Six degrees of freedom: a quick intro to 3D object detectionA simple guide on how to build a computer vision pipeline useful for AR purposes — In computer vision, one often has to work with two-dimensional images, and much less frequently — with 3D objects. For this reason, many ML engineers feel insecure in this area: a lot of unfamiliar words, it is not obvious how to apply the old friends Resnet and Unet. That’s why…Machine Learning9 min readMachine Learning9 min read
Oct 3, 20198 Deep Learning / Computer Vision Bugs And How I Could Have Avoided ThemPeople are not perfect, we often make bugs in our software. Sometimes these bugs are easy to find: your code just doesn’t work at all, your app crashes and so on. But some bugs are hidden, and it makes them even more dangerous. Working on deep learning problems, one can…Machine Learning11 min readMachine Learning11 min read
Published inOpen Machine Learning Course·Mar 12, 2018Open Machine Learning Course. Topic 6. Feature Engineering and Feature SelectionIn this course, we have already seen several key machine learning algorithms. However, before moving on to the more fancy ones, we’d like to take a small detour and talk about data preparation. The well-known concept of “garbage in — garbage out” applies 100% to any task in machine learning…Machine Learning23 min readMachine Learning23 min read
