Please spare a minute to check out my first Android app:

AI Sight - Object Recognition on your smartphone!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...

wow, looks amazing! what library did you use?

@CozyPlanes thanks :) I used Caffe :)

Cool - it managed to recognized my TV setup as home theater. A remote control.

I took a picture of my kid, in her PJs, and the app recognized her as a "sleeping bag". not quite sure how I feel about that 😂

@viking8 Hahaha glad you liked it :) Unfortunately, AI Sight only recognizes objects belonging to 1000 categories, as mentioned in the app description :P

Really nice app, but it managed to recognize correctly only 1 out of 7 captured.

But keep up the good work. :)

@gacbl Thank you! As mentioned in the app description, it can recognize objects belonging to a fixed set of 1000 categories :)
I'm sorry if it didn't live up to your expectations! :D

@vikrambajaj

It lived up to them and suppressed then

I was expecting it be be able to only recognize stuff if a certain image was selected or taken at a specific angle. And after some more testing I had some better results.

@gacbl Awesome :) Good to know! :D

Impressive, what could be useful is allowing users to correct failures to help increase that 1000. Do some cloud sourcing

@vikrambajaj we all use caffe, it's how devs code, we take in the caffe and put out the code. Lol

@RTRMS Thank you! I will surely consider doing so :)
The problem is mainly inconsistencies and errors in human annotations, but there has to be a way around it :P
I'll look into it :D

@RTRMS Hahaha 😂
I'm talking about a different Caffe 😛

Oh shit... It is a cute puppy...

@CozyPlanes Well, in my app's defense, it also does look like a decorative salt shaker 😛

Very close...

@abcdev :'(

seems right... hahahaha also, it crashed when I captured a picture instead of uploading it

@vhoyer that's odd... it's never crashed on my phone...Can you reproduce the crash? Or was it a one-time event?

@vikrambajaj reproduced successfully, sorry, but the app is nice, wouldn't it be a good idea let the user help training the ai? just an idea

@vhoyer there's no need to apologise :) in fact, I should :P

Letting users help train the model is a double-edged sword. Some might even abuse the AI, purposely give it the wrong labels etc. Also, there's always the problem of errors and inconsistencies in unsupervised human annotations: what you call a refrigerator I may call a fridge :P Get what I mean?

But this doesn't mean it isn't a possibility worth considering :) Thanks for the input!

yeah, I see the problem...

@abcdev I'm confused... You meant that sarcastically right?

It crashed while loading. But cool concept.

@Jifuna Oh! Is your phone low on RAM? Thanks btw :)

@vikrambajaj no. That was really close to detect the image.

@abcdev Oh my bad! I thought you were being sarcastic 🙈
Thank you!

@vikrambajaj Yes, I think I had like 300 mb free :).

@Jifuna Oh, I asked because I received a crash report with an OutOfMemory error, so I was wondering if the same issue happened with you as well. Is it working now?

@vikrambajaj same thing happened, I send a report.

@Jifuna okay I'll check it out :)

@Jifuna Turns out it's a NullPointerException, caused by a tts object.

@vikrambajaj as usual... What lang did you use? C++, python? I dont think you used java...

@vikrambajaj ah, if you want me to test it if you have a new version, let me know.

@CozyPlanes I used Java :)

@Jifuna Sure! I'll let you know :) Will be busy with exams for a bit!
