WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Training artificial intelligence systems using deep learning algorithms requires large datasets where the elements you want to recognize - cats, planes umbrellas - are already identified.

This dataset from YouTube contains 380000 videos with over 10.5M annotations to help train systems of the future. We have to remember that the more data is available for training the better the system will perform. Nevertheless, this is interesting as is shows a little bit of the behind the scene in AI and helps understand a bit more how good AI systems will be - or when they may fail.

Recently, Google announced an 8M YouTube video dataset to help spark research: https://research.google.com/youtube8m/
