Delays, meanwhile, appear truly ubiquitous, with 100% of teams reporting experiencing significant project delays due to <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2021\/12\/17\/3-big-problems-with-datasets-in-ai-and-machine-learning\/\">insufficient training data<\/a>. The research also indicates that these training data challenges come in many forms and affect CV teams in near-equal measure. The top issues experienced by CV teams include poor annotation (48%), inadequate domain coverage (47%), and simple scarcity (44%).<\/p>\n<p>The scarcity of robust, domain-specific training data is only compounded by the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2021\/08\/11\/how-computer-vision-works-and-why-its-plagued-by-bias\/\">the field of computer vision<\/a> is lacking many well-defined standards or best practices. When asked how training data is typically gathered at their organizations, respondents revealed a patchwork of sources and methodologies are being employed both across the field and within individual organizations. Whether synthetic or real, collected in-house or sourced from public datasets, organizations appear to be utilizing any and all data they can in order to train their computer vision models.<\/p>\n<p>However, computer vision teams have already identified and begun to embrace <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2021\/03\/20\/how-synthetic-data-could-save-ai\/\">synthetic data as a solution<\/a>. Ninety-six percent of CV teams reported having already adopted the use of synthetic data to help train their AI\/ML models. Nevertheless, the quality, source, and proportion of synthetic data that\u2019s used remains highly variable across the field, and only 6% of teams currently use synthetic data exclusively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to new research by Datagen, 99% of computer vision (CV) teams have had a machine learning (ML) project canceled due to insufficient training data.
