Train, Validation, Test Split for Machine Learning
At Roboflow, we often get asked, what is the train, validation, test split and why do I need it? The motivation is quite simple: you should separate you data into train, validation, and test splits to prevent your model from overfitting and to accurately evaluate your model.

Explore Images, Annotations, and Metadata Easier
Keeping track of images and their corresponding annotations is a challenge. Knowing which annotations map to which class, viewing image metadata, and seeing which images correspond to a training, validation, and testing set can quickly become a sprawling mess.
We're introducing improved detailed image previews that enable our

Roboflow Joins Y Combinator's Summer 20 Batch
Roboflow is enabling any developer to use computer vision (without being a machine learning expert).
Computer vision is the first technology that fundamentally allows us to rewrite human-computer interaction. Until now, when using computers to interact with the world, humans would assess their environment, provide commands to a computer, and

Video: How to Use Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels with Roboflow
Recently, we co-hosted a webinar with Mark McQuade of Onica, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, about using Roboflow along with AWS Rekognition Custom Labels to train and deploy a custom object detection model.
In the video, we learn how to go end-to-end to train a custom mask / no mask detector.

Reducing Traffic with Computer Vision
How Transport for Cairo is Improving Commuting for Millions with Computer Vision
Reducing traffic in well-planned cities where bus routes are well-mapped, subways are running on a predictable cadence, and lanes are well-marked is a significant undertaking.
Now consider improving traffic without predictable routes, maps, and regular modes of transit.
