Summary

I’m excited to be here to talk about machines and the magic of fast learning. We’re working with Thorn, a nonprofit dedicated to eradicating child exploitation online. They have to sift through millions of images daily using facial recognition and machine learning. With SingleStore, they can accelerate their image recognition workflow, allowing analysts to find matches faster and improve law enforcement response times. This has led to a 100-fold improvement in processing time, from 20 minutes to just 200 milliseconds. We believe that this technology can be applied to other areas with image-based datasets, such as mapping and social imagery, to gain insights through machine learning at scale. Our goal is to help businesses and nonprofits accelerate their operations with real-time data analytics.
