Introducing New and Improved Roboflow Train
Over the last year, thousands of custom computer vision models have been trained
with Roboflow Train [https://docs.roboflow.com/train] and millions of inferences
have been made via Roboflow Deploy [https://roboflow.com/deploy].
Recently, we took a big step back to incorporate advancements in computer vision
research and

What to Think About When Choosing Model Sizes
When training any machine learning model, you must trade off inference speed for accuracy. Larger models with more parameters are uniformly more accurate, and smaller models with fewer parameters are uniformly faster to infer.

How To Avoid Bias In Computer Vision Models
There are two different ways to think about algorithmic bias, and they are
complementary to one another. The first being the social and ethical side, and
second being the more technical side, how we detect it, and mitigate it.

How to Train Computer Vision Models on Aerial Imagery
Aerial imagery are images taken from aircrafts like drones, planes, and
helicopters. With these images we can train a model to detect objects like
fires, buildings, solar panels, rooftops, maritime search and rescue, and more.
A good use case example is when maritime search and rescue (SAR) teams search
