Recapping the AI, Machine Learning and Computer Meetup — December 12, 2024
Blog post from Voxel51
The December '24 AI, Machine Learning and Computer Vision Meetup featured presentations on state-of-the-art point tracking models, including CoTracker3, which leverages real-world videos during training to improve object tracking through video sequences. The model introduces significant improvements in tracking objects using semi-supervised training with real videos, generating pseudo-labels from existing tracking models, and a simplified architecture. Additionally, the meetup covered hands-on demonstrations of running inference with CoTracker3 and parsing its output into FiftyOne, as well as streamlined retail product detection using YOLOv8 and FiftyOne. The meetup also highlighted the potential applications of point tracking in cybersecurity frameworks for identity verification and access control, while discussing evaluation metrics and risks associated with spoofing or compromising such systems. Upcoming meetups are scheduled to take place at various locations around the world, including Athens, Austin, Bangalore, Boston, Chicago, London, New York, Peninsula, San Francisco, Seattle, Silicon Valley, and Toronto.
