Visual AI Takes Flight at Canada’s Largest, Busiest Airport

Toronto Pearson International Airport, in Ontario, Canada, is the country’s largest and busiest airport, serving some 50 million passengers each year. To enhance traveler experiences, the airport in June deployed the Zensors AI platform, which uses anonymized footage from existing security cameras to generate spatial data that helps optimize operations in real time. A member …

Random Forest for Image Classification Using OpenCV

The Random Forest algorithm forms part of a family of ensemble machine learning algorithms and is a popular variation of bagged decision trees. It also comes implemented in the OpenCV library. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply OpenCV’s Random Forest algorithm for image classification, starting with a relatively easier banknote dataset and …

How to Scale Your EMA

*=Equal Contributors Preserving training dynamics across batch sizes is an important tool for practical machine learning as it enables the trade-off between batch size and wall-clock time. This trade-off is typically enabled by a scaling rule; for example, in stochastic gradient descent, one should scale the learning rate linearly with the batch size. Another important …

Enable faster training with Amazon SageMaker data parallel library

Large language model (LLM) training has become increasingly popular over the last year with the release of several publicly available models such as Llama2, Falcon, and StarCoder. Customers are now training LLMs of unprecedented size ranging from 1 billion to over 175 billion parameters. Training these LLMs requires significant compute resources and time as hundreds …
