Week 1: Book Announcement

 I am thrilled to announce that for my master thesis, I am venturing into the challenging and exciting field of book writing. I’ve begun working on a book that seeks to provide tentative answers to one of the most critical questions of our time:

How can we achieve public abundance within planetary boundaries in a just way?

This inquiry is grounded in two key assumptions, which I explore at the beginning of the book:

1. The capitalist system is fundamentally incapable of meeting humanity’s basic needs within planetary boundaries. It perpetuates the exploitation of racial groups, women, nature, and an increasing portion of the working class.

2. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of alternative ways to provide abundance in a regenerative manner—approaches that foster, rather than diminish, economic democracy.

If this topic resonates with you and you want to see this book come to life and be presented to change-makers, I would greatly appreciate your financial support. Your contributions will help cover the costs of editing, publishing, and travel (exclusively by public transport).

You can make a donation through the following link. I will share weekly progress updates on this platform and on my blog.

FastAI Deep Learning Journey Part 7: Calculating crowd size using image regression, a potential application for train use

In the previous post we show how to use a more general approach for the case when images may have one, multiple or any label at all. In this post, we will show how very little changes are required to implement computer vision deep learning methods for regression problems. To make things less theoretical, we picked a very interesting data set, containing 2000 images from people in a shooping mall. Each picture has been carefully labeled, where we can find between 12 to 60 people. This could be a very interesting application for example for public transport usage, as the extension of monthly tickets may very hard to track the usage of each train/bus or other service in real life. We will show that with only 3 epochs /1GPU we managed to get ~2 MAE (mean absolute error) or in order words, get the counting wrong 2+/- person, which is really not a lot considering we can have 60 people in the image. Let see in detail what needs to be changed and explain a potential usage for public transport ...
