Golf performance tracking startup Arccos joined forces with Commercial Software Engineering (CSE) developers in hopes of unveiling new improvements to their "virtual caddie" this summer.
Microsoft and Land O'Lakes partnered to develop an automated solution to identify sustainable farming practices given thousands of satellite images of Iowan farms. Our primary goal was to reduce the reliance on manual interviewing of farmers and make it more profitable for farmers to follow sustainable farming practices. To tackle this issue our team deployed a highly scalable Batch AI cluster on Azure and then performed distributed deep learning model training with Horovod.
Can Machine Learning help with detecting sustainable farming practices? In this blog post inspired by our collaboration with Land O'Lakes we share the lessons we learned in the image segmentation space.
