Helm. ai is working with Honda Xcelerator, Honda’s Silicon Valley-based program for startups and other innovators.
Helm.ai is a startup working on scalable artificial intelligence for autonomous vehicle. The company is known for its “Deep Teaching,” which it described as a new methodology for unsupervised learning.
Honda Xcelerator program offers funding for rapid prototyping, collaborative workspaces, and pairing with Honda mentors. It helps innovators across all funding stages who seek to transform technology and business.
Highlights Helm.ai “Deep Teaching” Technology
- It is a new methodology, that enables Helm.ai to train neural networks without human annotation or simulation for the purpose of advancing AI systems.
- Deep Teaching offers far-reaching implications for the future of computer vision and autonomous driving, as well as industries including aviation, robotics, manufacturing and even retail.
- Unsupervised learning is the process of enabling AI systems to learn from unlabelled information, infer inputs and produce solutions without the assistance of pre-established input and output patterns.
- When applied to autonomous driving Deep Teaching allows Helm.ai to train on vast volumes of data more efficiently without a need for large scale fleets nor armies of human annotators, edging closer to fully self-driving systems.
- Helm.ai has built a full stack autonomous vehicle which is able to steer autonomously on steep and curvy mountain roads using only one camera and one GPU (no maps, no Lidar and no GPS), without ever training on data from these roads and, and company claims it can perform well above today’s state of the art production systems.
All these above mentioned points help the company to deliver accuracy and generalization faster and cheaper way than conventional AI methods.
