NB: The libraries use Torch.

I'm still playing around with fasttext (which is amazing btw) officially announced last week so I'm surprised to see Facebook Research announce and release another project so soon.

These seem to be the papers for DeepMask [1] and SharpMask [2]

Could you share what you did with fasttext? It'd be great to see some examples around the amazing tools being open sourced! I read that there are no documentation comments, maybe they were removed?

Is there any way for those of us with average intelligence to contribute to tools like this?

I know I'm a decent developer, but I feel entirely entirely inadequate to participate in this enormous, scary world of AI.

Looks very promising. Self-driving cars will need algorithms like this to understand as much as possible of the environment that they see through the cameras. I think currently things like those ropes that the shepherd is holding in the picture are still very difficult to detect and classify correctly but they could just as well be a line across the road, maybe with a sign on it saying "closed".

Future Facebook AR goggles will float people's names above their heads, replace billboard advertisements with live Facebook ads, and make people you 'mute' become invisible. It'll be a weird world.
