LexSet received the People’s Choice award after tallying the most votes from conference attendees. Building high-performance AI models requires high-quality data, which can be hard to come by. LexSet’s synthetic data technology solves this challenge by creating custom computer vision training datasets using 3D models simulated in a variety of conditions. LexSet is working with customers to enable autonomous machines, starting with indoor environments.
This 2019 edition of the O’Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference in San Jose featured a wealth of content on the latest in AI innovations. It drew the largest crowd yet and it was filled with considerable energy as attendees networked and learned from one another. Our next conference will be in London, Oct. 14-17.
