Advancing state-of-the-art image recognition with deep learning on hashtags

Image recognition is one of the pillars of AI research and an area of focus for Facebook. Our researchers and engineers aim to push the boundaries of computer vision and then apply that work to benefit people in the real world — for example, using AI to generate audio captions of photos for visually impaired users. In order to improve these computer vision systems and train them to consistently recognize and classify a wide range of objects, we need data sets with billions of images instead of just millions, as is common today.

What tech calls “AI” isn’t really AI

First, the problem itself is poorly defined: what do you mean by intelligence? Nature, with all her blind hideous strength, endless experimentation and wild wastes of infinite time, has only managed the trick once (by our narrow definition), with one species of tree-ape on a rolling green world. Even if you believe there’s intelligent biological life elsewhere, the stats aren’t promising.

ONNX expansion speeds AI development

Facebook helped develop the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format to allow AI engineers to more easily move models between frameworks without having to do resource-intensive custom engineering. Today, we’re sharing that ONNX is adding support for additional AI tools, including Apple Core ML converter technology, Baidu’s PaddlePaddle platform, and Qualcomm SNPE.
