MACHINE LEARNING

While silicon valley is busy applying machine learning tools to incredibly challenging efforts like autonomous cars, industry can apply these same tools to less technically challenging problems like image classification & localization. We create intelligent machines that make subjective decisions about highly varied things in highly varied environments. Only pick the "ripe" fruit, reject the "bad" composite parts, or assess the "vigor" of each plant.
