What we’re about
San Diego Machine Learning is an active group for AI & data science education and networking. We are machine learning practitioners, students, and enthusiasts who want to get together to share, discuss and try various techniques -- and possibly hack on the occasional challenge. We have a wide range of experience levels with machine learning either through work, school or personal exploration. We currently have a monthly papers & lightning talks event, book clubs, project time, networking, and a mix of other ML events. Everyone is welcome!
For more information about our AI talks and ML book club, please visit our GitHub repositories: https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/talks and https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/bookclub

History of Optical Character Recognition
Aquillius, 10918 Technology Pl, San Diego, CA, USHistory of Large Language Models
In this week's meeting, Ryan will be taking us through the history of Optical Character Recognition, commonly shortened to OCR. This is the technology core to reading the text from images and turning them into machine text. This technology has been a silent force in many business applications for decades and is often taken for granted. He will walk through how much more capable these systems have become over the years, how they are typically trained, and the different architectures and datasets that have become core to this technology and how they are evaluated.
