Another team from UVA has been selected to compete at theAmerican Evolution Innovators Cupduring the TomTom festival on April 12, 2019. Their project, titled“Truly OpenMLâ€, aims at improving the current Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV.org) by making it more accessible to a wider audience, i.e., students and aspiring CV and AI professionals, with a strong focus on learning. They've done extensive research and taken multiple interviews from UVA students working in the field of CV and AI, recently finishing their design of the new resource that involved producing sketches, storyboards, and wireframes. Participating students are Eric Burbach, Alexa Gomez, Daniel Knorr, and Jaspreet Ranjit-- the last two applied to the competition with Panagiotis Apostolellis as a faculty advisor. Taken directly from their System Concept Statement: “The Truly OpenML web application will replace hours of searching through scattered resources and cumbersome compilation of applications with an intuitive user interface for the aspiring Artificial Intelligence (AI) developer who wants to gain a rudimentary understanding of Open Computer Vision (OpenCV): a machine learning software. Truly OpenML will provide a personalized learning approach for users of varying skill level in OpenCV and Machine Learning to serve as a resource for novice and experienced users alike. Unlike existing OpenCV platforms, the carefully cultured community will serve as the foundation of the OpenCV learning experience uniting users of all skill levels to accomplish their intended goals. With a focus on intuitive design for aspiring AI developers, Truly OpenML will serve as a way to systematize the AI learning process by making OpenCV a more interactive, co-creative, and collaborative learning experience.†The student group is now working on creating a prototype and evaluating their system, while also preparing their pitch at the TomTom festival. American Evolution Innovators Cupis “A Challenge for Virginia's Most Visionary Students to Create Social Impact & Commercialize Research and Invention†with a grand prize of $25,000.
