The hardest problems aren't solved in isolation. They're solved when the collective intelligence of builders, researchers, and creators converges.
Today we're launching a suite of new Roboflow Universe Community Features. New experiences like trending pages and projects cited in research are designed to help accelerate vision AI adoption, advancements, and collaboration.
Universe Community Updates
Our goal is to make it easy to move from discovery to production faster than ever.
1. Dynamic Homepage
You know the feeling: you have an idea, but you don't want to start from scratch. You want to see what’s working, what’s cutting edge, and what the community is actively building right now. The new homepage is your shortcut.
Our new homepage dynamically highlights trending projects each day. Beyond that, we've made it frictionless to explore datasets and models across popular categories and included a new, intuitive system for exploring by common tags.
Instead of sifting through thousands of projects, you can instantly see what's gaining traction, whether it's the latest in drone detection or a fresh take on medical imaging.
2. Task-Specific Trending Pages
We’ve rolled out new trending pages specific to task types.
Now, you’ll find dedicated trending pages for:
- Object Detection: The top bounding box datasets and models.
- Instance Segmentation: Pixel-perfect projects leading the way.
- Image Classification: Cutting-edge categorical models.
- Keypoint Detection: For precise pose and movement tracking applications.
- ...and more, all showcasing the most popular and impactful work across Universe today.
3. Computer Vision Research Hub
We’re excited to introduce our new Cited in Research Page, featuring datasets and models that have been highlighted in academic papers and research. This page connects the cutting edge of scientific discovery directly to the actionable tools on Universe. Contribute your research, and watch your work gain real-world traction.
4. Editable Profiles
The work you do on Universe is significant. It deserves to be showcased. So we’ve enabled editable profiles, making it easy to update your name, add a personalized bio, include links to your professional portfolio on GitHub, and more. We hope this provides a simple way to build trust, demonstrate expertise, and connect with other builders and potential collaborators.
Building The Future With Universe
These features are just the beginning. Our goal is to make Universe the definitive hub where visual AI isn't just consumed, but actively built, shared, and elevated. We want to see your work featured, your research adopted, and your profile grow as a leader in this space.
Explore and build today on Universe.
