Inception Startups Exhibit GPU-Powered Work in Long Beach

Computer vision technology that can identify items in a shopping bag. Deep learning tools that inspect train tracks for defects. An AI model that automatically labels street-view imagery. These are just a few of the AI breakthroughs being showcased this week by the dozens of NVIDIA Inception startups at the annual Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition conference, one of the world’s top AI research events.

The NVIDIA Inception virtual accelerator program supports startups harnessing GPUs for AI and data science applications. Since its launch in 2016, the program has expanded over tenfold in size, to over 4,000 companies. More than 50 of them can be found in the CVPR expo hall — exhibiting GPU-powered work spanning retail, robotics, healthcare and beyond.
