Deep Learning and Computer Vision for business optimization of Danish SMEs

Project

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Deep Learning and Computer Vision is becoming an increasingly important competition advantage for enterprises in a variety of industries. For small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the lack of resources for employers with AI competences, means it can be challenging to compete against large businesses.

However, the increasing availability of open-sourced large-scale datasets and AI technologies and research, could be utilized by SMEs to optimize their business.

This PhD project focuses on Deep Learning and Computer Vision technologies e.g., Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs), Self-supervised Learning and Data Augmentation and applies these to concrete Danish SMEs business cases, using their real-world datasets, in order to research how the technologies can be used to optimize their business models.
