How to generate and visualize Segment Anything Model predictionsSegmentation of Open Images V7 (license) samples with Meta AI’s Segment Anything Model (license). Image courtesy of the author.Over the past few weeks, Meta AI Research’s general purpose image segmentation model has attracted a lot of attention. The model, aptly named Segment Anything Model (SAM) (Apache license 2.0), was trained on a dataset consisting of 11 million images and more than a billion segmentation masks.SAM is remarkably powerful. But as always,…

Towards Mastering AIMathematics, binary classification, logic gates, and moreTL;DRThe world of perceptrons is fascinating. Perceptron models are the building blocks of modern artificial intelligence. This blog post makes a long story short. Let us learn the story of the perceptron (i.e., from neural network to multilayer perceptron and beyond). We will dig into the simple mathematics that drives the model deployable as a binary classifier and a simulated computer transistor, multiplier, and even logic gate. Let us look at…

And how you can do the same with your docsImage courtesy of Unsplash.For the past six months, I’ve been working at series A startup Voxel51, a and creator of the open source computer vision toolkit FiftyOne. As a machine learning engineer and developer evangelist, my job is to listen to our open source community and bring them what they need — new features, integrations, tutorials, workshops, you name it.A few weeks ago, we added native support for vector search engines and text similarity queries to FiftyOne, so that…

Each year, thousands of newly minted U.S. Ph.D. recipients complete the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), providing information about their race, gender, disability status, educational background, postgraduate plans, and more. The long-running census is critical for understanding which groups are underrepresented in the U.S. science, technology, engineering, and medicine (STEM) community. But it has a blind spot, many argue: It can’t say anything about how many Ph.D.…

Twirling and flying hand fans, catchy Lord of the Rings references, and 20 blue papier-mâché balloons. University of Oregon chemist Checkers Marshall put together that strange combination to create this year’s overall winning video in Science’s long-running Dance Your Ph.D. contest. The use of fans, which represented electrons, was nonnegotiable for Marshall: “I can’t dance unless there’s something in my hands.” Marshall’s video, shot in their lab and in a…
