While I'm excited about progress, 15.8% accuracy is not exactly "Singularity is near"
Also, the previous best on the same dataset was 9.3%
OTOH, it's late and i might be way off.
--- last company was in computer vision.
Did you sell, leave or did it fail? Why? I have some ideas that I think are novel applications of computer vision, and just within the range of what's feasible, but it seems that most computer vision applications look like that at first, and then after 90% done find out that the second 90% is exponentially harder and, realistically, infeasible. How could I test my ideas against that? Or am I asking from wrong premises?
I left after all the other engineers did.
Email me if you want to discuss practical application.
