Deci, the deep learning company that uses AI to build AI, today announced a new suite of industry-leading semantic segmentation models called DeciSeg. Deci’s proprietary Automated Neural Architecture Construction (AutoNAC) technology automatically generated semantic segmentation models that significantly outperform the best performing publicly available models, such as the Apple-released MobileViT and the Google-released DeepLab family. Deci models offer more than 2x lower latency and 3-7% higher accuracy.
Semantic segmentation is one of the most commonly used computer vision tasks in many industries including automotive, smart cities, healthcare, and consumer applications, and is commonly required for many edge AI applications. However, there are significant barriers to running semantic segmentation models directly on edge devices, such as B. High latency and the inability to deploy these models due to their size.
Semantic segmentation tasks that previously could not be performed at the edge because they were too resource-intensive are now possible with DeciSeg models. This enables companies to develop new use cases and applications on edge devices, reduce inference costs (since AI practitioners no longer have to perform these tasks in expensive cloud environments), enter new markets and reduce development times.
“DeciSegs exemplify the power of Deci’s AutoNAC engine to generate custom hardware-aware deep learning models with unprecedented performance on any hardware. AI teams can easily use DeciSegs models or leverage Deci’s AutoNAC engine to build and deploy custom models that run real-time computer vision tasks on their edge devices,” said Yonatan Geifman, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Deci.
Deci’s platform has a proven track record of enabling AI at the edge and empowering AI teams to build and deploy production-quality deep learning models. Earlier this year, Deci announced the discovery of DeciNets for CPUs, which reduced the gap between a model’s inference performance on a GPU compared to a CPU by half without sacrificing the accuracy of the model, allowing AI to run on less expensive, resource-constrained hardware could become.
“In the world of automated design and construction of deep neural networks, Deci’s AutoNAC technology is a game changer. It uses deep learning to search vast neural network spaces for the model that works best for a given task and AI chip. In this case, AutoNAC was applied to the Pascal VOC Semantic Segmentation Task on NVIDIA’s Jetson Xavier NX™ chip and we are very pleased with the results,” said Ran El-Yaniv, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of Deci and Professor of Computer Science at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
Deci’s platform serves customers across multiple industries across multiple production environments including edge, mobile, data center and cloud. To learn more about how leading AI teams are using Deci’s platform to build production-quality models and accelerate inference performance, visit here.
