April 8 - Getting Started with FiftyOne

This workshop provides a technical foundation for managing large scale computer vision datasets. You will learn to curate, visualize, and evaluate models using the open source FiftyOne app.

Date, Time and Location

Apr 8, 2026
10 AM PST - 11 AM Pacific
Online. Register for the Zoom!

The session covers data ingestion, embedding visualization, and model failure analysis. You will build workflows to identify dataset bias, find annotation errors, and select informative samples for training. Attendees leave with a framework for data centric AI for research and production pipelines, prioritizing data quality over pure model iteration.

What you'll learn

• Structure unstructured data. Map data and metadata into a queryable schema for images, videos, and point clouds.
• Query datasets with the FiftyOne SDK. Create complex views based on model predictions, labels, and custom tags. Use the FiftyOne to filter data based on logical conditions and confidence scores.
• Visualize high dimensional embeddings. Project features into lower dimensions to find clusters of similar samples. Identify data gaps and outliers using FiftyOne Brain.
• Automate data curation. Implement algorithmic measures to select diverse subsets for training. Reduce labeling costs by prioritizing high entropy samples.
• Debug model performance. Run evaluation routines to generate confusion matrices and precision recall curves. Visualize false positives and false negatives directly in the App to understand model failures.
• Customize FiftyOne. Build custom dashboards and interactive panels. Create specialized views for domain specific tasks.

Prerequisites:

• Working knowledge of Python and machine learning and/or computer vision fundamentals.
• All attendees will get access to the tutorials and code examples used in the workshop.
