IC3 AI Residency - Part 1
A few months ago, I was delighted with the news that I had been selected as one of the six in the world to participate in the biannual IC3 AI residency program. And today I would like to share with you what my experience has been like so far. What is the IC3 AI residency program? ...you might be wondering, the program calls for internal employees to apply for a six-month program where you will be joining the teams behind the deep learning and machine learning optimizations for products such as Teams, ACS, and others. These optimizations come in the form of better noise suppressors during calls, better bandwidth utilization, better camera blur filters, and many more making the overall experience of the users easier, less expensive, enjoyable, and more inclusive. And what have you learned/done so far Ruben? I was fortunate enough to join a team focused on computer vision, we aim to create a video encoder using deep learning, which usually means that the objective is to compress vide...
