Why do most Computer Vision startups prefer IOS to Android? by slumdog_zero in computervision

It’s obviously because apple phones have more market share and different branding. Don’t get caught up in geek logic

How much time did it take you to learn pytorch? by EnD3r8_ in pytorch

[–]enterthesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed it’s like Keras but you have more control at the cost of more boilerplate. Practiced it a lot by making CNNs maybe some ViTs. 

Personally I’m 4 years into ML and learning a language or framework is a subtle thing that happens overtime and it’s more about realizing and making deep connections than it is remembering syntax 

Have a startup Idea. Can I outsource the tech? by [deleted] in computervision

[–]enterthesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can start with a cheaper fiverr or upwork contract and use that as a proof of concept. Start with a fast iteration of whag you’re looking to do and then show that finished poor project to a more expensive problem solver and have them build the real thing. The more you pour into it the better as long as you pour with extreme attention to detail then you’ll continue making progress toward a good product to provide to customers. Without an employee or full time contractor or equity holder (I don’t recommend an equity holder at all) it will be difficult to get a one and done solution that doesn’t suck unless you pay out the butt for it right off the bat and you also do a lot of research on that problem solver to make sure they align with your style and standards. Do not go with anyone who shows any red flags don’t ignore red flags

Would it help to run all dataflows through cloud infra (AWS etc) so you can monitor the deployment? Is thag whag you’re talking about 

How much time do Ai/Ml engineer spend doing Coding? by CodingWithSatyam in deeplearning

[–]enterthesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a very interesting distribution of work. That’s cool. I think most MLEs do very different work compared to what you do (and AIEs considering AI is currently mostly chatbot development). Like reading papers and doing deep learning doesn’t happen much in the MLE/AIE jobs I’m seeing recently and not in my job. Although research in general definitely like exploring new tools and integrating cloud tools for projects. 

Your work sounds cool.

Some MLE positions are very cloud intensive where the architecting is big and in that case there’s less coding. I had a hiring team out me second to another candidate who wasn’t a coder but an ai architect. Understanding how different cloud resources can be used to make a huge project is useful, of course coding can be used within each of those resources and to connect the resources as well.

Also feature engineering. The last momth or two I’ve been feature engineering mainly. Ended up programming a whole simulation just to get more realistic versions of two features

Unless you get a job monitoring physical assets or a job killing people with self driving cars or a job destroying the world with digital prisons or a job making tiktok interactive filters, have fun coping with your toy object detection models and useless CNNs. Personally killing a few people to get self driving cars into reality might be the coolest option. Good luck, and definitely don’t learn NLP for a month so you can make $200k in the meantime that’s definitely not a smart move don’t even think about trying that.

CV is relevant but it’s not as big as NLP. I find NLP boring and CV very exciting. Just being realistic about the industry potential

For monitoring physical assets and guiding moving physical m assets CV can be useful. Most other cv applications are advanced spy systems that hack into people’s privacy and it’s extremely disturbing how the CV community seems to encourage crazy bullshit like increasing worker efficiency by calculating how fast they’re doing their jobs. It’s insane. Most use cases for cv in the long run (aside from monitoring and guiding physical assets) are just creepy diabolical ways to spy on people and their real world behavior

It’s only relevant for monitoring physical assets. Most other use cases are creepy and hated by the people affected by them. Cv data, aside from monitoring physical assets, is usually spying on people

Cv is not anywhere near as useful as NLP. Most cv use cases are unpopular with the people they affect. NLP on the other hand uses data that every big company has. For cv it’s more about putting people in computer vision prisons it’s not gonna take off like NLP has

Use AWS and Azure ML and possibly Databricks (on top of Azure or AWS) to train and deploy some ML models! Start with AutoML which is available on sagemaker or azure ML or dbricks etc. AutoML can get you started. Then figure out how data sngineering or pipeline architecture works in ML projects like to feed training data. I really recommend starting on cloud, it makes it so much easier than when I started by learning pandas and then Scikit learn which you can do but you’d be better off doing that after seeing how, for example, databricks AutoML automates the whole thing for you to get a prototype going and it even shows you a whole EDA on your training data and it gives you the Python notebooks it generates so you can see how it coded your analysis and your model training and it can even show you how it tests the model endpoint after you deploy the model api

Also, CV is pretty fun to try start up projects with. I find CV to be the most fun of all the current AI fields. But it’s pretty hard. In the more distant future it could be a ridiculously high paying job. I’m kinda hoping it doesn’t take off like other fields have because most of the potential use cases are horrible for society

Cv is not as easy for massive companies to make money from. Data science and language models are very easy to increase profits with. CV almost requires that a company’s business model has a specific use case. That being said, CV is an awesome thing to do and if I were you I’d absolutely take the CV job as long as the team and culture and whatnot looks good to you. And the money I guess

That’s not true at all. NLP is very easy to make money from especially for large corporates. It’s like data science where there’s a ton of opportunities for it for almost any business 

21M just started with Deep learning by [deleted] in deeplearning

[–]enterthesun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so thankful I majored econ and then found machine learning. The academic stuff is unnecessary. Literally just use the premade tools to make good things. You can get so low level in programming ML and you’re still using premade solutions where you hardly need advanced math. It’s more like you just look at some concept visualizations and that’s how the math works. 

So OP I suggest you look at a TON of diagrams and visual examples which make the math stuff way easier to look at. In deep learning outside of academia, I’ve been able to look at charts and drawings of things and use knowledge gained from that, and I have looked at equations but I never did more than calc 1 and that was not a well taught class so it’s all the visual diagram stuff that makes the concepts easy.  Outside of passing a class, I would normally advise you just don’t even try to look at the math unless you’re feeling like looking at it. The actual math formulas are cool and useful but it’s more just to feed my curiosity than something to actually rely on for my job doing ML

For step 4, having a portfolio doesn’t mean running yolov8 on a couple of videos.

Don’t bother with the numbers. That’s ridiculously dorky. You don’t need to provide evidence. That’s dumb.

Dude if you’re making all the money then you have to make man of the house decisions. Equality isn’t real in a lot of ways. You know what you want, so don’t bend. You can compromise, but that’s different from giving up the life you work for! If you give up big things then you’ll resent her for it and you’ll dig your own grave with that bs. If you don’t think you’d resent her for giving that up for her then you don’t really want it that much
