NLP or computer vision

Deep Learning

This is a career question. I have seen that many deep learning roles are generally of two types based on the application they perform: Computer vision or Natural Language Processing(NLP). Which field will be more popular and have more impact in the future, NLP or computer vision? WIll there be roles any time in the future which combine both the two?

  1. People are bad at predicting the future so make some predictions but know that there is a lot of uncertainty. Don’t base your career decision only on what you think (now) will have a better future.

  2. Get good at deep learning in general. Then you can do both. There might be different processing steps and different layers but the general deep learning concepts apply to both.

  3. If you have the choice, do what you enjoy more.

Can’t tell you about the future. But right now there are more jobs in NLP than CV. Text data is easier to get, found in abundance in many shape and form. And that makes it easier for companies to leverage NLP for various tasks.

Not sure how far out you’re planning, but if you’re thinking ahead more than a couple of years, then I’d bet on biology-related tech.

These individuals will be at the forefront of solving complex problems that require expertise in both domains, and they will play a pivotal role in shaping innovative solutions across various industries. I know interesting tools about annotation in computer vision

In conclusion, both NLP and Computer Vision are poised to have a profound impact on the future of AI and technology. The convergence of these fields within the realm of multimodal AI presents a promising and exciting area of opportunity for individuals looking to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence.

Entertainment for the masses is normally a good revenue source so I want AI to produce a movie given certain theme keywords and I want to be in the movie. I will buy “formats” and famous artists will appears in my movies for a micro fee. Although there will be utility applications such as driver less cars or multi-language translations for tourists , I think NLP CV will merge into AI-entertainment.

NLP(Natural Language Processing) focuses on helping computers understand and work with human language, like through chatbots or translation apps. Computer Vision, on the other hand, enables computers to interpret and understand visual data, such as images or videos, like recognizing faces or detecting objects in photos. Both are powerful AI technologies, but they focus on different types of data: language for NLP and images for computer vision.
