How computers learn to recognize objects instantly | Joseph Redmon

Ten years ago, researchers thought that getting a computer to tell the difference between a cat and a dog would be almost impossible. Today, computer vision systems do it with greater than 99 percent accuracy. How? Joseph Redmon works on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) system, an open-source method of object detection that can identify objects in images and video -- from zebras to stop signs -- with lightning-quick speed. In a remarkable live demo, Redmon shows off this important step forward for applications like self-driving cars, robotics and even cancer detection.

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

This was an awesome TED talk. I wish it was longer. Very impressive that this is being run on a mobile device.

[omooba]

when you tell a yolo joke around an audience that mostly doesn't know what yolo is

5:32 Detected a parrot as pizza.


This is how the flesh-eating robots begin.

This is not a TED talk, this is a deep learning implementation demo ^.^

[TheKingoftheriff]

A seven minute clip that's actually an ad and says nothing about how the code actually knows what it's looking at. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[ImSkully]

this sounded more like a keynote for YOLO rather than a TED talk

[worldcitizen]

3:22 It detected a skateboard, apparently

I liked the audience's ecstatic reaction on the YOLO reference ^^

Amazing! Thank you for open sourcing this. I will be using it as a part of my smart dorm room project I am building !

[JohnSmithhh]

- Doctor: Let's try this in the body
- AI: I found a suitcase

I'm joking, very good work ! Thank you

[programista_html]

for anyone who looks for the app to download!
it's named "Objects Detection Machine Learning TensorFlow Demo" and is available for free for Android in Google Play (org.tensorflow.detect)
looking for "TensorFlow" phrase in Google you can find their website with more stuff and links to source code if you need it
thumbs up so everybody can see :)

Highly appreciable work by this dude..
Bro you daknet is so sophesticated and you open sourced it....you are a hero

[prodRefault]

Taking a computer vision class right now which is taught by Redmon! It's really fun and I've learnt a lot.

[antoniboryna]

i can't believe this appears in my feed after 2 years, mid 2019

shame on you, yt

[FritzSchober]

Having Darknet as a name and a satanic looking logo is maybe not the best way to show people that they should trust computers...

[ganjiraja]

He never explained how it works so this is a misleading title.

[ajjeji]

at one point in the video it said frisbee instead of stop sign

[rootsharp]

Finally a Ted talk actually works for something. Thank you local Thor. We appreciate technology.

[Skeltzz]

yeah but can it tell the difference between a hot dog and not a hot dog

[gamersonline]

It already knows more than we do. The stop sign is not a stop sign, it is a frisbee
