This week's newsletter spotlights Voxel51's latest integrations, key resources, upcoming hackathons, and a list of upcoming events.

Segments.ai now integrates with FiftyOne

Segments.ai now integrates directly with FiftyOne to close the loop on data annotation. FiftyOne empowers you to gain actionable insights into data and models, highlighting problem areas. Users can seamlessly request annotations directly within the FiftyOne interface without switching tools.

𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
You can easily select samples from your dataset in FiftyOne and send them directly to Segments.ai for annotation by running the “request annotations” operator.

𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸
Once your team completes the annotations on Segments.ai, you can immediately pull those annotations back into FiftyOne for review. Make a new release and run the “fetch annotations” operator.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
Spot a problem? Create issues for annotation review directly from FiftyOne or Segments.ai.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴
Stay tuned for more integration capabilities.

🧗 The Challenge

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to curate a subset of our provided dataset that achieves two seemingly contradictory goals:

Reduce the overall size of the dataset

Maintain or improve the performance of a YOLOv8m object detection model

🧰 Dataset and Resources

A dataset of 65,986 images
43 object classes across categories like clothing, people, transportation, and more
FiftyOne, an open-source tool for dataset curation and analysis.
