Using Convolutional Neural Networks for Real-Time Product Recognition in Smart Scales – Imagga’s Solution to the Kaufland Case

Posted 18 CommentsPosted in Team solutions

Many big retailers offer in store a rapidly growing variety of fresh produce from local and global sources, such as fruit and vegetables that need to be weighed quickly and effortlessly to mark their quantity and respective price. Smart scales that use image recognition to optimise user experience and allow additional features, such as e.g. cooking recipes can provide a new solution to this problems. The solution we provide to the Kaufland case includes training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with GoogLeNet architecture on the original Kaufland data set and fine-tuning it with a Custom Training Set we have created, achieving the following results (Kaufland Case Model #13): training accuracy: Top-1: 91%, Top-5: 100%; validation accuracy: Top-1: 86.1% , Top-5: 99%, and TEST dataset accuracy of: Top-1: 86.1%, Top-5: 99.2%. We have also created another model (Kaufland Case Model #14) by combining similar categories, achieving: training accuracy: Top-1: 96%, Top-5: 100%; validation accuracy: Top-1: 92.5%, Top-5: 100%, and TEST dataset accuracy: Top-1: 91.3%, Top-5: 100%. All trainings were done on our NVIDIA DGX Station training machine using BVLC Caffe and the NVIDIA DIGITS framework. In our article we show visualisations of our numerous trainings, provide an online demo with the best classifiers, which can be further tested. During the final DSS Datathon event we plan to show a live food recognition demo with one of our best models running on a mobile phone . Demo URL: http://norris.imagga.com/demos/kaufland-case/

What we tried to do to solve the Kaufland case for the Global Datathon 2018. This article just contains our exploratory data analysis in the form of many plots and some explanations. There isn’t any modeling stage described here.

Datathon Ontotext Mentors’ Guidelines – Text Mining Classification

Posted Leave a commentPosted in GD2018 Mentors, Mentors

In this article the mentors give some preliminary guidelines, advice and suggestions to the participants for the case. Every mentor should write their name and chat name in the beginning of their texts, so that there are no mix-ups with the other menthors. By rules it is essential to follow CRISP-DM methodology (http://www.sv-europe.com/crisp-dm-methodology/). The DSS […]

Team Cherry. The Kaufland Case. Fast and Accurate Image Classification Architecture for Recognizing Produce in a Real-Life Groceries’ Setting

Posted 6 CommentsPosted in Image recognition, Learn, Team solutions

Our best model (derived from VGG) achieved 99.46% top3 accuracy (90.18% top1) with processing time during training of 0.006 s per image on a single GPU Titan X (200s / epoch with 37 000 images).

The teams vision is for the team members to see where they stand compared to others in terms of ideas and approaches to computer vision and to learn new ideas and approaches from the other team-mates and the mentors.

Therefore the team is pursuing a pure computer vision approach to solving the Kaufland and/or the ReceiptBank cases.

You must be a registered user for the #AcademiaDatathon to see this content.
In an attempt to make a case which is to be somewhat universally understandable by various types of students, the case is financial time-series prediction, while making it more engaging with the hot topic of cryptocurrencies. The case integrates knowledge from various sources – Crypto Currencies, Quantitative Finance and Machine learning. At the same time, the case is stratified as the teams solving it could complete various levels – as far as they could solve it.
