Researchers from Japanese electronics giant Sony have trained the ResNet-50 neural network model on ImageNet in a record-breaking 224 seconds — 43.4 percent better than the previous fastest time for the benchmark task.
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the long-range, human-intelligence-level target of contemporary AI researchers worldwide. It’s believed AGI has the potential to meet basic human needs globally, end poverty, cure diseases, extend life, and even mitigate climate change. In short, AGI is the tech that could not only save the world, but build a utopia.
Since 2010, the annual ImageNet Large-Scale Visual Recognition Challenge has been the most widely recognized benchmark for testing image recognition algorithms. Tencent Machine Learning picks up the challenge with its new paper Highly Scalable Deep Learning Training System with Mixed-Precision: Training ImageNet in Four Minutes.
The ShuffleNet utilizes pointwise group convolution and channel shuffle to reduce computation cost while maintaining accuracy. It manages to obtain lower top-1 error than the MobileNet system on ImageNet classification, and achieves ~13x actual speedup over AlexNet while maintaining comparable accuracy.
This paper proposes not only a method as a useful tool but also a new concept for modeling complex annotation as a simple polygon.
This paper systematically studies how a convolutional neural network, trained on ImageNet for image classification tasks, works on medical images – or more precisely on ultrasound images – for the “Kidney Detection” problem.
AI companies require accurate data for specialized applications, and seemingly little things such as labelling and tagging demand accuracy. At present, only humans are up for the task.
This paper proposed a computationally efficient convolutional layer to upscale the final low-resolution feature map to a high-resolution output.
