Machine learning systems are often seen as black boxes, where even experts can struggle to explain certain behaviours. In this talk we will discuss how we enhanced our Blender-based synthetic training system to help shine a light inside the black box of our product recognition model, and what we found inside (spoilers: lots of answers, but also a bunch more questions).
Hi! My official job title is "pipeline tools developer and machine learning specialist" but that's a bit of a mouthful so let's just say I'm a developer at 345. I build tools for 3D artists using Blender and other systems. In a past life I was a lecturer at the University of Bath, and so I'm looking forward to get a chance to speak again at Blender Conference!
