How computers learn to recognize objects instantly | Joseph Redmon | TED Talk

Learn more about the future of computer vision and object detection with “How computers learn to recognize objects instantly.” Ten years ago, researchers thought that getting a computer to tell the difference between a cat and a dog would be almost impossible. Today, computer vision systems do it with greater than 99 percent accuracy. The speaker in this TED Talk, Joseph Redmon, works on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) system, an open-source method of object detection that can identify objects with lightning-quick speed. He explains how object detection works and what the future of this type of artificial intelligence could be. Viewers will learn more about machine learning, as well as the digital transformation this type of technology can have on healthcare, businesses and more.
