Research & Papers
Serverless gossip training for LSTM failure detectors across sites
Compares gossip learning (decentralized) vs federated averaging for predictive maintenance on distributed sensor data using NASA C-MAPSS dataset. Directly addresses how to train failure detectors when sensor data can't be pooled centrally—a real constraint in industrial CV deployments monitoring equipment across locations.
Read more →Calibration-first multimodal temporal learning for cross-cohort transfer
Introduces CALIBRA framework for risk forecasting with incomplete multimodal data that maintains reliability when patient populations and sensor ecosystems change. Practical relevance: handles domain shift in real deployments—key challenge when CV systems move between different environments or hardware setups.
Read more →Semantic endpoint detection for full-duplex streaming speech interaction
Proposes FD-VAD as a causal audio-language reasoning task for turn-taking in voice systems, avoiding cascaded ASR bottleneck. Relevant for practitioners building real-time multimodal CV+audio pipelines where end-to-end inference latency and semantic understanding matter more than acoustic features alone.

Hand-drawn diagram recognition converts sketches to code in 3 seconds
App uses CV to photograph whiteboard sketches and generate working Python, React, SQL, or SPICE code automatically. Directly applicable to diagram understanding pipelines and OCR-to-code workflows that practitioners building document processing systems encounter.
Read more →Computer vision transforms warehouse automation at scale
CV systems handle order complexity, safety monitoring, and operational efficiency in modern warehouses. Critical real-world deployment case for practitioners scaling vision systems into logistics and inventory management.
