SentiSight.ai Computer Vision engine is available on Eden AI

We are pleased to announce that SentiSight.ai Computer Vision engine has been integrated into Eden AI API.

‍

What is SentiSight.ai? 

SentiSight.ai from Neurotechnology is a place where users can build AI models for image recognition using modern techniques. The platform allows for capabilities such as object detection and image classification. It is easy to use (no coding required) and automatically performs most image processing tasks.

Neurotechnology was founded to use neural networks for various applications such as biometric person identification, computer vision, robotics, and artificial intelligence. To meet the requirements of a variety of applications, Neurotechnology has developed many advanced algorithms based on computer vision. For example, SentiSight.ai has tools designed to support interactive learning of patterns without coding and faster labeling of images, reducing the user's effort in data exploration.

Why do we offer SentiSight.ai in addition to other APIs?

Eden AI offers SentiSight AI solutions on its platform (Object Detection, Explicit Content Detection, Image Detection, OCR) amongst several other technologies. We want our users to have access to multiple AI engines and manage them in one place so they can reach high performance, optimize cost and cover all their needs. There are many reasons for using multiple AI APIs :  

• Fallback provider is the ABCs. You need to set up an AI API that is requested if and only if the main AI API does not perform well (or is down). You can use the confidence score returned or other methods to check provider accuracy.
• Performance optimization. After the testing phase, you will be able to build a mapping of AI vendors' performance that depends on the criteria that you chose. Each data that you need to process will be then sent to the best API.
• Cost - Performance ratio optimization. This method allows you to choose the cheapest provider that performs well for your data. Let's imagine that you choose Google Cloud API for customer "A" because they all perform well and this is the cheapest. You will then choose Microsoft Azure for customer "B", a more expensive API but Google performances are not satisfying for customer "B". (this is a random example)
• Combine multiple AI APIs. This approach is required if you look for extremely high accuracy. The combination leads to higher costs but allows your AI service to be safe and accurate because AI APIs will validate and invalidate each other for each piece of data.

Interview with SentiSight.ai Team Lead

We had the chance to talk to SentiSight.ai Team Lead and PhD Karolis Uziela, who agreed to answer some of our questions:

Can you introduce SentiSight.ai?

SentiSight.ai is developed by Neurotechnology, a company with more than 30 years of experience in high-precision algorithm development. The company mainly focuses on biometric algorithm development such as fingerprint, iris and face recognition. The company's algorithms have achieved top results in independent technology evaluations, including NIST MINEX, PFT, FRVT, IREX and FVC-onGoing. Neurotechnology research and development areas of interest also include image and video recognition algorithms, robotics, stock analytics, ultrasound and brain-computer interface research.

SentiSight.ai is a successor of Neurotechnology’s earlier product SentiSight SDK. Unlike its predecessor, SentiSight.ai is a web-based image recognition and labeling platform. The first version of SentiSight.ai was released in November 2018 with two goals in mind. The first goal was to create a user-friendly platform for training and using machine learning models for people who don’t necessarily have prior experience with machine learning and AI. The second goal was to create a platform for efficient and convenient image annotation, which could help even large AI companies to curate their data and prepare for machine learning pipelines. These two purposes are largely related and complementary to each other and nowadays SentiSight.ai is capable of serving them both.

‍

How does SentiSight.ai work? 

SentiSight.ai models can be used in three different ways. The first option is to use them online via the web platform’s interface. This option is very useful for testing the newly trained models and for using the models for AI-assisted image annotation. The predictions made via the web interface can be downloaded in a .json format.

The second option which is probably most familiar to Eden AI users is to use SentiSight.ai models via cloud REST API. We provide code samples in several different languages as well as a Swagger specification.

The third option is to use SentiSight.ai models by downloading the “offline” version. The “offline” version contains a ready-to-launch script that starts a local REST API server, so you can make local REST API queries from the same device that runs the server or from any other device which is connected to that local device. The “offline” version is free to try for 30 days and if you want to continue using it after the trial period ends, you need to buy a license. 

‍

What tools do you provide? 

In addition to image recognition tools, SentiSight.ai offers many useful functionalities for image annotation project management, such as image annotators labeling time and efficiency tracking, user role management, advanced image filtering tools, etc. We also offer a smart labeling tool that can greatly speed up bitmap labeling.

Our most recent major addition to the SentiSight.ai platform was the functionality to train image segmentation models. Right now we are working on a major release after which our user interface will be even faster and smoother for our users.

‍

Who are your customers?

Our customers can be divided into two categories: the ones who use SentiSight.ai for image annotation and the ones who use SentiSight.ai for image recognition tasks. The first customer segment includes image annotation companies and companies that carry out machine learning projects and are in need of a convenient and efficient tool for managing image annotation tasks. The second customer segment includes companies that are outside the machine learning field but would like to carry out machine learning projects. For these companies, we often offer custom projects where our experts develop a solution tailored to the company’s needs.

‍

Why did you decide to be integrated in Eden AI?

Eden AI is an ambitious project that helps users to get the best of what is on offer in the AI field. The major advantage of Eden AI is that its users are able to use machine learning models from multiple sources just by creating a single account and using a single interface. We like this idea very much and would like to make SentiSight.ai accessible in as many ways as possible.

Eden AI is a must-have

Eden AI is the future of AI usage in companies. Our platform not only allows you to call multiple AI APIs but also gives you :

• Centralized and fully monitored billing for all AI APIs
• A unified API for all providers: simple and standard to use, quick switch between providers, access to the specific features of each provider
• Standardized response format: the JSON output format is the same for all suppliers thanks to Eden AI's standardization work. The response elements are also standardized thanks to Eden AI's powerful matching algorithms.
• Best Artificial Intelligence APIs of the market: big cloud providers (Google, AWS, Microsoft, and more specialized engines)
• Data protection: Eden AI will not store or use any data. Possibility to filter to use only GDPR engines.
