Roshan Sumbaly (Facebook)
Average rating: ****.
(4.50, 2 ratings)
There aren't many systems in the world that need to run hundreds of computer vision models (from classification to segmentation) on billions of visual entities (images, videos, 3-D) daily. Roshan Sumbaly walks you through the challenges faced while building such a platform and how, surprisingly, a lot of the answers were found in traditional software engineering best practices.
