First Yash Kamal and Rahul Gupta started with an excellent presentation on the YOLO Object Detector. YOLO is an extremely fast real time multi-object detection algorithm. The algorithm applies a sophisticated grid-based search to an entire image. Using this algorithm, one is able determine not only what is in an image, but also where a given object resides. The output of the YOLO detector draws bounding boxes around target objects in the image.
Next came a deep presentation by Ramapriya on Object Detection with Masked RCNN. This is a state of the art multi-task model for visual scene understanding. It can be used for object detection, classification and instance segmentation in images.
The Matterport Mask R-CNN project provides a library to develop and train Masked R-CNN Keras models for one’s own object detection tasks. Ramapriya demonstrated use of this library for the kangaroo object detection model in photographs.
Finally, Abdul Azeez presented a superb session on Time-Series modelling using different techniques viz ARIMA, LSTM and Prophet API. The presentation started off with “What is Time series?” and how do we solve this using a well know statistical technique called ARIMA. Later Abdul discussed use of deep learning neural network algorithm LSTM model for time-series modelling. He finally concluded by explaining how Prophet API makes time series forecasting much easier. Prophet is a Python / R based open-source forecasting technique used for time-series modelling, and was originally developed by Facebook’s Data Science team.
