BMW shares AI tools used in production

the YoloV3 (the model that these tools are designed to work with) paper is extremely funny and worth reading for anyone who hasn&#x27;t.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pjreddie.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;files&#x2F;papers&#x2F;YOLOv3.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pjreddie.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;files&#x2F;papers&#x2F;YOLOv3.pdf</a>

Algorithms doesn&#x27;t seem to be the right term, this seems to be more tooling, like this wrapper for Tensorflow and YOLO training that runs a variety of monitoring tools for you:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;BMW-InnovationLab&#x2F;BMW-YOLOv3-Training-Automation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;BMW-InnovationLab&#x2F;BMW-YOLOv3-Training-Aut...</a>

This is impressive only because they are in automotive. I worked in that industry for years, they are generally at least a decade behind the rest of the software world

Here&#x27;s a nice video of the YoloV3 (which these tools are using) in action from the author of YoloV3 (Joseph Redmon): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=MPU2HistivI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=MPU2HistivI</a>

sorry for the negative vibes, but this looks a lot like some fake buzz to create some credible BMW-traineed profiles – none of the profiles linked with the project is older than 5 days...

As a MechE this is really cool to see. Is there similar tooling available online that I can read about?

I sure hope they don&#x27;t let people&#x27;s lives depend on the output of deep learning models.

Yes, I agree it’s mostly tools...

This is great. It would be good if all life-critical software was open-sourced like this. Maybe something that should in fact be required?<p>But, ”in turn, we receive support in taking our AI software to the next level of development”<p>I bet they are mainly looking for help. They are trying to figure out why their software is not capable to do what it is supposed to, and hoping someone can assist.<p>I’m ready to consult them on this if they are open to hear the bad news first...
