## The use case: how VisualCortex deploys Weights & Biases

VisualCortex, a cloud-based video analytics platform, uses Weights & Biases to streamline its ML workflow, including using Sweeps to search for the best data augmentations for its vehicle and license plate recognition models. A small team of three developers relies on it to coordinate and automate training processes.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Weights & Biases and VisualCortex, not ours.

> In particular, W&B Sweeps accelerated the rate of finding the most optimal data augmentations. By programmatically building their augmentation into Sweeps, VisualCortex can efficiently sample the space of augmentation combinations to push forward the best model.

> The reason we can have such a small team is because W&B helps us coordinate everything. The platform removes a lot of the manual work for us and helps us automate processes so each member can focus on their core role and not worry about the mechanics and governance.
