In this blog post, I will walk you through how to build a fast and simple image search tool. I developed an image search application that uses multimodal foundation models to search for highly accurate and relevant results. By following this blog post and our code base, you can easily build one yourself!
Read MoreLast week, at Landing AI, we publicly launched our flagship AI platform, LandingLens. This all-in-one platform empowers users to build a computer vision application from start to deployment. In this blog, I want to share the motivation behind building this AI platform as well as highlight a few key features that I truly enjoy!
Read MoreI have been brainstorming with friends possible side project ideas to try with Foundation Models. In this blog, I’ll share some of the interesting and practical side project ideas that utilize pre-trained foundation models. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, hope this will inspire you to unleash your creativity and build something amazing.

In this blog post, I cover one of the awarded papers in NeurIPS 2022. This paper presents LAION-5B, a dataset consisting of 5.9 billion image-text pairs, to further push the scale of open datasets for training and studying state-of-the-art language-vision models. With this large scale, it gives strong increases to zero-shot transfer and robustness.
Read MoreQuestion Answering models are often used to automate the response to human questions by leveraging a knowledge base. My team at Stanford aims to build a robust question answering system that works across datasets from multiple domains. We explore two transformer-based Sparsely-Gated Mixture-of-Experts architectures and conduct an extensive ablation study to reach the best performance.
Read MoreMetrics are critical in machine learning projects. They help a team to prioritize their resources and concentrate on a single, clear objective. I am always amazed to see that, once my team is aligned on a single metric to optimize, the speed and momentum we will be able to execute. In the end, we will usually be able to accomplish the goals that seem impossible in the beginning.

Based on our past experience at Landing AI we have developed best practices for model training and evaluation. In this article, I share a few high-priority tasks during model training. We openly share our guiding principles to help machine learning engineers (MLEs) through model training and evaluation.
Read MoreAt Landing AI we observed how many projects took an unnecessarily long and painful process to complete. It was due to ambiguous defect definitions or poor labeling quality. In comparison, it will make the life of machine learning engineers much easier, and the whole project lifespan much shorter, by having a dataset with high quality labels. Therefore, it is very important to invest the time in the project’s early stage to clarify defect definitions and formalize labeling.
Read MoreThis paper reminds me of many time where our model in production perform strangely, so engineers have to spend hours investigate root causes and roll back or push for fixes. Lots of late night works as result of such mistakes. I agree with this paper that such data validation systems, if implemented correctly, can really help save significant amount of engineer hours by catching important errors proactively and diagnose model errors more efficiently.
Read MoreAt Landing AI, I have gone through several projects where we developed an end-to-end machine-learning system from “scratch'“. That means before we started on the project, there was no existing data collection procedure, so we had to start from zero and set up cameras.
Read MoreI want to build things that can generate tremendous and long lasting values for the society. These are the things that won’t expire or go outdated quickly, things whose value can grow and accumulate over a long period of time, and things that can continuously generate positive values for people and the society.

Read MoreMeta Learning is one of the promising lines of work that aim to solve the small data problems in machine learning field. Currently, many people working on AI are thinking day and night about how to scale AI systems and improve their profit margins. One main challenge to solve is how to quickly build an AI model that reaches human-level performance on classes with only a few samples.

At the Stanford AI Salon
Today I went to Stanford to attend an AI Salon session hosted by the Stanford AI Lab. The topic of the salon today was "Deep Reinforcement Learning for Real World Systems". The speakers were Prof. Sergey Levine & Prof. Mykel Kochenderfer.

Read MoreFor companies developing machine learning products, a key factor is to gain the users’ trust that the products will work for the best interest of the users and protect their privacy and security.
Read MoreAutoML and other similar services do have the potential to make AI more accessible to everyone, so that we can focus on much harder problems. We are far from automating the entire pipeline of Machine Learning development.
