Powerful Computer Vision Algorithms are Now Small Enough to Run on Your Phone

Karen Hao | MIT Technology Review

Visual recognition is deep learning’s strongest skill. Computer vision algorithms are analyzing medical images, enabling self-driving cars, and powering face recognition. But training models to recognize actions in videos has grown increasingly expensive. This has fueled concerns about the technology’s carbon footprint and its increasing inaccessibility in low-resource environments.
