Greetings, world! My name is Kawano - I'm a data scientist intern here at Hacarus who joined last year November. I'm a master's student who typically spends time doing research by analyzing insect behavior (for the record, I'm an information science major!). As an intern at Hacarus, I work on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) projects. Anywho, let's get straight to it- have you ever heard of the RISC-V? I'll be putting in hardware called the Debian into a RISC-V…

Hello, I’m Kishimoto! I’m an Edge Engineer intern who has been working at Hacarus for quite some time now. Last year, Sony released an Arduino IDE supported, high-performance board computer called, SPRESENSE, which I’ll be talking about today! SPRESENSE is an Arduino-compatible edge device loaded with a high-performance CPU. Using the SPRESENSE, I wanted to test its capabilities for edge machine learning, which is often difficult to achieve due to the low computing power of edge devices. In recent years, the…

“That’s not possible”. “Not in my lifetime”. “That will be too expensive”. These are some of the words you will usually hear from people when there is a discussion about intelligent systems like artificial intelligence (AI). For most of us, an intelligent system is something that’s too expensive or too advanced. But that was the case years ago. Now, we live in a world where this kind of system is  everywhere. From our smartphones to more complex machines, intelligent systems are…

Hi, my name is Matsuyama, and I work at Hacarus. Today I write about how to use Vision and CoreML, which was a hot topic at the last WWDC. This time, I created an application that displays a label and confidence level for identified objects. I used models provided by Apple and a custom model converted to ML model from Caffe using Python.  Here is how it looks like. What is Vision Framework? Vision framework performs face detection, text detection,…
