Great to see alumni from Lund here! Oscar Beijbom created the ML tech for the airbag bicycle helmet Hövding right after college.

Haha, that's right. Thanks for the shout-out @petters!

#13This is very cool. A few quick questions: 1.) Would it be possible to buy the model and integrate/host it on my own machines? 2.) Would you consider making solutions for embedded ML in the future?
We do think "model export" is important, but we're still getting our heads around how to do it in the most non-ML-expert friendly way. We don't think the persona we're building for wants a weights file dropped in their lap. What output / format would be ideal from your perspective?

#14I couldn't stop chuckling over the example use cases' screenshot for Sentiment Analysis. Please don't remove it, it made my day and it's only 10am here.

#15Heyo, cool product. I know setting up and deploying ML on your own is a big PITA from own experience, so ML as a service is a no brainer. Questions: What do you guys see as the long term vision here? Where would you like to go, if you could? Obviously the value prop is simple and clear right now, and you have tons of competition. But assuming you're profitable, get traction, what would you LIKE to be in 5-10 years? W…
Haha yea I'm to blame for the crappy UI... I believe in principle with shipping things you're uncomfortable with, but it also hurts my soul.

Oh man, we literally just got new images from our new designer and I think they went a different direction with that one :)

Ha - that one makes us chuckle too! But we can't promise to not remove it.

#18I'm curious to know how this is different from Microsoft's CustomVision and other such tools. In fact, they've been around for much longer with the exact same product.
Thanks.

#19Would this let a complete novice tag and classify words, say, to only highlight verbs? Would that task be easier than typical methods?
Check out Spacy, it provides PoS tagging (among other things): https://spacy.io

Well there’s a continuum of offerings, some having lots of custom control of the training pipeline and on the other side things like CustomVision that try to make it easy / hide the complexity. We consider ourselves even further to the “hide complexity” side, since we try every domain automatically vs. making you choose, re-train automatically, etc. Initial feedback from our users is that even recall vs. precision is something they don't want to have to think about.
In addition, we don't limit ourselves to only vision - we'd like to be the one stop shop for ML as a service.
