- Mar. 26, 2019SE Capstone TagBull wins Velocity $5k pitch competition
SE Capstone team TagBull aims to harness the power of video game players to train artificial intelligence systems. An AI system for an autonomous vehicle, for example, might be trained to recognize pedestrians from thousands of photos of street scenes in which the pedestrians have been labelled by a person who plays video games. The gamer would earn in-game rewards for their efforts, and the dataset owner would pay TagBull and the video game company for the labelling work.
