Image Recognition Revolution and Applications

Data, in particular, unstructured data has been growing at a very fast pace since mid-2000's. Eighty percent of all data generated is unstructured multimedia content which fails to get focus in organizations' big data initiatives. A good portion of this multimedia content is images and videos. Readily available smart wireless devices along with the rising popularity of sharing images and videos through the internet have contributed significantly in the massive growth of this type of content. Images and videos now reflect a good portion of human knowledge, interactions and conversations.
