Transfer Learning

i want to talk a little bit about what indico is actually doing. The key problem tha we recognized when it came to using deep learning a in an accessible way was training data fundamentally, right? You don't have a hundred thousand examples for relative problems. We were very, very early to space that has since come to absolutely dominate the field of m l,. Which is transfer learning a. And thenill, i'll roll back the clock and kind of craft that art, because i think it is highly relevant a.

// Abstract
The Unstructured Imperative
Recent advances in AI have dramatically advanced the state of the art around unstructured data, especially in the spaces of NLP and computer vision. Despite this, the adoption of unstructured technologies has remained low. Why do you think that is? How have the dynamics changed in the last five years?

Multimodal AI
Historic AI approaches have generally been constrained to one data modality (i.e., text or image). Recently, a wide range of papers in image captioning and document understanding have emphasized the need for more sophisticated "multimodal" techniques that can fuse information from multiple modalities. What is multimodal learning, and why is it so promising? Why are we seeing such an explosion of activity? What is Indico doing in this space?

Machine Teaching
As methods of supervision become more complex and multifaceted, many researchers have begun investigating the inverse problem. That is how do we design supervision systems that more naturally follow human processes? What are some interesting trends in "the space", and where can we expect this field to go in the next few years?

// Bio
Slater Victoroff is the Founder and CTO of Indico, an enterprise AI solution for unstructured content that emphasizes document understanding.
Slater has been building machine learning solutions for startups, governments, and Fortune 100 companies for the past seven years and is a frequent speaker at AI conferences.

Indico’s framework requires 1000x less data than traditional machine learning techniques, and they regularly beat the likes of AWS, Google, Microsoft, and IBM in head-to-head bake-offs.
