Do you love your business?

Just imagine, you bought a car, what will you do? Carry out maintenance in a timely manner, look for a gas station where there is no burnt gasoline, wash, polish, coat with wax and all sorts of nano-solutions and protect with an alarm system - well, that is if you are of sound mind.

23 minutes. Justification of the slow-witted

I always thought that I was stupid. More precisely, that I am slow-witted. This manifested itself simply: at meetings and discussions, I could not quickly come up with a solution to the problem.

The name was […]

The Jedi Technique for Reducing Convolutional Networks - pruning

Before you again is the task of detecting objects. The priority is speed of operation with acceptable accuracy. You take the YOLOv3 architecture and further train it. Accuracy(mAp75) is greater than 0.95. But the run rate is still low. Crap. Today we will bypass quantization. And under the cut, we’ll look at Model Pruning - cutting off redundant parts of the network to speed up Inference without loss of accuracy. It’s clear where, how much and how [...]

The story of a Korean student who received an award from the Ministry for the queue monitoring system

When I was in my junior year of high school (from March to December 2016), I was very annoyed by the situation that developed in our school cafeteria.
