For us, summer 2020 wasn’t just about washing our hands more thoroughly than usual, but also about the very successful second edition of our internship on computer vision.

First announced in May 2020, this edition of internship managed to attract almost 60 applications from not just Ukraine, but also Germany, Belgium, and India. We were truly excited to receive three times more applications than last year. After the initial pre-selection, we have conducted 35 interviews with potential candidates and chosen 15 best applicants to become our interns. The Covid-19 had its consequences on the format of the internship: we mixed the offline mode of studying with the online one to ensure everybody’s safety. We have also combined theoretical talks with the supporting workshops that included the practical implementations of the concepts from lectures and weekly homework reviews. The material was delivered by our super experienced team: Ievgen Gorovyi, CEO, PhD, Pavlo Vyplavin, CTO, PhD, and Yurii Chyrka, ML/DL Team Lead, PhD.

The course program consisted of two major modules, one month long each: 

• classical computer vision, 
• machine learning and deep learning algorithms for computer vision tasks. 

We started with the basics in image understanding and processing and gradually paved the way through image matching, object detection and tracking towards image content description and feature crafting, the bridge between the classical computer vision and machine learning. In the second half of the course, we covered different types and classical algorithms of machine learning, as well as neural networks basics, the evolution of convolutional neural networks, and the most popular architectures. A detailed description of the course program can be found here.

As part of the homework, interns were suggested to solve a bunch of typical computer vision tasks. Supervised by It-Jim’s experts, they gained experience in basic image manipulations, pattern detection and recognition, tracking objects in video, image retrieval and classification, feature crafting for machine learning, transfer learning, semantic segmentation. Our interns became familiar with the most popular DL frameworks: Keras+Tensorflow and Pytorch. 

We have always paid a great deal of attention to the growth of the Ukrainian CV community and done our best to replenish it with high-skilled engineers. We have no doubts that our graduates will keep on rocking and definitely succeed as computer vision professionals.

Artificial intelligence (and computer vision in particular) are changing the way we all work, live, and communicate. It can seem daunting to attempt to keep up with all these emerging technologies and tends, however, you don’t have to worry because that’s why we’re here!

Since 2015, we’ve been established as a group of experts who conduct high-quality research in the fields of computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, augmented reality, and signal and image processing.

Over the years, we’ve completed many projects from building an indoor navigation engine to developing sophisticated mixed reality systems.

In a current ongoing project, we’re providing computer vision development efforts for a digital healthcare startup. They’re striving to decrease the cost of healthcare around the world while increasing accessibility to world-class diagnostics.

Remember what we said about emerging technologies impacting our everyday lives? One of our clients is utilizing these technologies to make a difference. The CEO of the startup shared, “Our goal was to be able to diagnose health conditions in patients noninvasively. They’ve aided us in accelerating the research process by looking into new ways of diagnosing COVID-19 in ways that can be accessible to everyone with a consumer technology device, such as a smartphone.”

“Their expertise and specialization within the computer vision field are fantastic. The team has exceptional capabilities in scientific research, and we’ve learned from them.” –CEO & CO-Founder, Digital Healthcare Startup

We’re so humbled by our clients and their desire to cause positive change, and we take pride in being your partner to do so. This honor is paired with our appreciation of recently receiving a company award: we were named a 2020 top B2B company in Ukraine by Clutch, a research and review platform for business owners. You can find the official press release with the full list of leaders here.

You can also find us among a 2020 top machine learning companies in Ukraine. Clutch’s research says and establishes that we’re a leading agency in our field and we possess a strong commitment to high-quality customer service.

We are very grateful to our clients for dedicating their time to provide the feedback on our work! What’s more, we couldn’t have received this award without you. Thank you very much!

Remember we’re always one message away if you ever need to get in touch with us!
