Showcase

Data Scientist - Deep Transfer Learning Approaches for Object Recognition (AUDI)
Data Scientist - Deep Transfer Learning Approaches for Object Recognition (AUDI)
  • Deep learning methods have achieved state-of-the-art results in Computer Vision tasks like image classification, object detection, and face recognition.

  • The project focused on optimizing the use of artificial data for training deep neural networks, specifically addressing the need for labeled data and the transferability of learned models to real-world data.

  • A two-stage fine-tuning process was implemented, starting with pre-trained weights and gradually incorporating mixed training data to reduce the required target domain data by approximately half.
