Webinar: Teaching Machines to See Any Object
We invite you to online lecture – Training Machines to Detect Any Object, led by RNDr. Andrej Lúčny, PhD. from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava.
Modern artificial intelligence models today enable robots to recognize objects from predefined categories. However, the challenge remains the ability to perceive any object as an independent entity. A major breakthrough in this area came with visual transformers, which, since 2020, have made it possible to infer the position of an object as a byproduct of the image classification process.
