New computer vision tool wins prize for social impact - EurekAlert


<p>A team of computer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst working on two different problems&mdash;how to quickly detect damaged buildings in crisis zones and how to accurately estimate the size of bird flocks&mdash;recently announced an AI framework that can do both. The framework, called DISCount, blends the speed and massive data-crunching power of artificial intelligence with the reliability of human analysis to quickly deliver reliable estimates that can quickly pinpoint and count specific features from very large collections of images. The research, published by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, has been recognized by that association with an award for the best paper on AI for social impact.</p>
