An interview with Huguens Jean, video AI researcher at Google - PyImageSearch

In this post, I interview my former UMBC lab mate, Dr. Huguens Jean, who was just hired to work at Google's Video AI Group as an artificial intelligence researcher. Huguens shares his inspirational story, starting from Port-au-Prince, Haiti where he was born and raised, to his schooling at UMBC, and now to his latest position at Google. He also shares details on his humanitarian efforts where he's successfully applied computer vision and deep learning to rural Rwanda to help count footfall traffic. The data him and his team gathered through footfall traffic analysis was used to help the non-profit organization, Bridges to Prosperity, to construct infrastructure such as bridges and roads, to better connect Rwanda villages. Let's give a warm welcome to Dr. Huguens Jean as he shares his story. Thank you for doing this interview. It's such a wonderful pleasure to have you here on the PyImageSearch blog.
