Object Detection Leaderboard

Welcome to our latest dive into the world of leaderboards and models evaluation. In a previous post, we navigated the waters of evaluating Large Language Models. Today, we set sail to a different, yet equally challenging domain – Object Detection. Recently, we released our Object Detection Leaderboard, ranking object detection models available in the Hub according to some metrics. In this blog, we will demonstrate how the models were evaluated and demystify the popular metrics used in Object Detection, from Intersection over Union (IoU) to Average Precision (AP) and Average Recall (AR). More importantly, we will spotlight the inherent divergences

Frequently Asked Questions On My Writing Process

Every month of so, someone asks me about my writing process: How did I get started writing? Why do I write? Who am I writing for? How do I approach writing? I’ve hesitated to write my responses to these because, honestly, who cares about my writing process? But after repeatedly answering similar questions, I decided to put my thoughts down once and for all (so I can stop repeating myself). If you’re thinking about starting to write online but feel unsure how to begin, this is for you. How did you get started writing? Years ago, when I was a

Automating Server Deployments with GitHub Actions: Saving Time with SSH & rsync 🚀

🚀 I was working with GitHub Actions. I hadn’t explored it before, but I wanted to make my deployment process a bit smoother. 🔄 The task wasn’t exactly deployment, it was more about sending updated files and folders to the server. Previously, I had to manually update the code on the server again and again, so I decided to automate the process using GitHub Actions. 📜 To create a workflow in GitHub Actions, you need to define all instructions in a .yml file. Since I hadn’t worked with YAML before, I asked ChatGPT 🤖 to generate the structure for me.

Scaling Volatile ML Models in Production​

“We discovered that they were not just service providers, but partners who were invested in our goals and outcomes” – Nicolas Kuzak, Senior ML Engineer at Rocket Money. We created Rocket Money (a personal finance app formerly known as Truebill) to help users improve their financial wellbeing. Users link their bank accounts to the app which then classifies and categorizes their transactions, identifying recurring patterns to provide a consolidated, comprehensive view of their personal financial life. A critical stage of transaction processing is detecting known merchants and services, some of which Rocket Money can cancel and negotiate the cost of

GitHub Issue Importer – DEV Community

Did you know that GitHub does not offer a way to import multiple issues at once? I came across this problem whilst laying out my plans for a new project. I had created a number of tasks and I wanted to add these tasks as issues to my project in GitHub. Faced with the daunting task of manually adding all of these tasks as issues, I decided to peruse the web for an easy solution but came up empty handed. Since I had some free time, I decided to try developing a tool that will do all of this for

Edge Security Showdown: Vercel Firewall vs. Cloudflare – Protecting Your Modern Web App

In today’s landscape, deploying an application is only half the battle. Securing it against threats like DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and common web vulnerabilities (like the OWASP Top 10) is crucial. Both Vercel and Cloudflare offer robust solutions at the edge, but they approach security differently, especially concerning integration and features. This article dives deep into Vercel Firewall and Cloudflare’s security suite (WAF & DDoS Protection), comparing their strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use cases. We’ll also unravel why Vercel explicitly advises against placing Cloudflare’s proxy in front of your Vercel deployments. Vercel Firewall: Integrated Protection for the Vercel Ecosystem Vercel
