The autonomous systems piloting self-driving cars will make decisions that have life-and-death consequences. There is little room for error in their ability to classify and track objects in a vehicle’s vicinity. That’s why in developing vehicle perception systems, curating high-quality training and validation datasets is critical. For example, seeing in training data how a pedestrian […]

Advocates urge Facebook to open up their algorithms to researchers
Aug 13, 2018 Source Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“…We know we lose 2m brain cells every minute [a blood clot is in the brain].” Yet the two therapies that can transform [stroke] outcomes — clot-busting drugs and an operation called a thrombectomy — are rarely used because, by the time a stroke is diagnosed and a surgical team assembled, too much […]
