[Development Case] Research and Development of AI Systems for Beauty Devices

Research and development of an AI system to be incorporated into beauty devices for domestic company H.

From 2019 to 2023, we conducted research and development on an AI system to be integrated into beauty devices for Company H in Japan. This time, since there were no usable existing data, we started from data generation. We created an annotation tool and performed the annotation. Furthermore, we conducted research, implemented models, trained and evaluated them, reduced model size, and built an inference system. Due to the operational requirements of the hospitals using the devices, the allowed inference time per image was a few milliseconds. To achieve this, we carefully considered the architecture of the Neural Network and assembled an architecture that is ultra-fast yet reasonably accurate. The Neural Network architecture itself was made lightweight, but further reduction in size was necessary to meet the inference time on edge devices. Therefore, during the deployment phase, we performed pruning, distillation, and quantization. This allowed us to meet the required inference time. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
