UPSTAGE PUBLISHES TWO PAPERS AT ECCV 2022, THE WORLD'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS COMPUTER VISION SOCIETY
USING MULTIMODAL TECHNOLOGY THAT RECOGNIZES BOTH LINGUISTIC AND VISUAL ELEMENTS AT ONCE, THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE OCR CAN BE IMPLEMENTED
The only start-up to publish papers at the best global AI conference in 21 years Domestic Top 5… This year, research achievements doubled in half a year

(Upstage = 2022/7/11) Upstage, a representative AI startup in Korea, presented a thesis at the world's most prestigious computer vision international conference, proving its best OCR technology.

Upstage (CEO Sung-Hoon Kim, www.upstage.ai ) announced on the 11th that it published two papers at the European Computer Vision Conference (ECCV) 2022. ECCV is considered one of the world's most prestigious artificial intelligence conferences along with the International Society for Representational Learning (ICLR) and the International Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR).

The ECCV conference, which is held every two years, is a top-tier conference with less than 30% paper acceptance rate. A total of 5,150 papers were submitted at the ECCV 2020 held in 2020, of which only 1,360 papers, or 26%, were accepted. As a result, Upstage presented papers at all three major AI conferences this year, reaffirming that it is the best AI technology company.

The two papers published by Upstage are a study on the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) character recognition model and a paper on the learning strategy that is the basis of machine learning.

The first paper applied multi-modal technology that recognizes both linguistic and visual elements at once when AI recognizes text in a photo, and achieved research results that achieved higher performance than existing text recognition models that mainly used visual elements. The second is a research paper on a customized learning strategy that uses a pre-learned model to solve problems that occur when applying a specific field. Through this technology, it can be easily applied to various types of models to improve the performance of field data that was not examined at the time of model training. can be secured

In other words, when AI recognizes photo data, it is designed so that visual and linguistic elements interact with each other to improve performance, and this paper presented a technology that can achieve good performance when used in various fields such as various types of documents. In particular, it is expected that they can make a great contribution to improving OCR performance.

Upstage plans to further accelerate the development of the 'Upstage OCR Pack', which uses AI to extract desired information from images based on its technical excellence recognized through the thesis.

This year's ECCV, where the thesis will be presented, will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel from October 23rd to 27th. Two of Upstage's papers are published in full in the research track.

Upstage is the only startup following Samsung, Naver, Kakao, and LG in the '2021 Global AI Top Tier Society Thesis' survey conducted in May by 'Imperial College London' in the UK, drawing attention by ranking in the top 5 in Korea. there is a bar In particular, this year's record of 6 papers, doubling the number of papers presented at major conferences last year, which was 3, in just half a year, is expected to make even greater achievements.

Seonghoon Kim, CEO of Upstage, said, “We are delighted to be internationally recognized for Upstage’s artificial intelligence technology by adopting two papers from the world’s most prestigious ECCV society.” Utilization, we will do our best so that our customers can utilize AI with the highest performance in the field with no code.”

Upstage can easily apply the latest AI technology to various industries based on AI technology leadership proven by papers published in international AI societies such as ECCV 2022, NeurlPS, ICLR, CVPR, and WWW, and winning double-digit gold medals in Kaggle. It plans to release 'Upstage AI Pack', a no-code-low-code solution that can be used in the second half of this year.

Through 'AI Pack', Upstage uses three AI technologies customized for customers at once: OCR technology, recommendation technology that considers customer information, product and service characteristics, and natural language processing search technology that enables semantic-based search. help you do it With the 'Upstage AI Pack', you can easily utilize data processing, AI modeling, and index management, as well as conveniently use the latest AI technology by supporting continuous updates.
