Anomaly detection is one of computer vision's most exciting and essential challenges today. From spotting subtle defects in manufacturing to identifying edge cases in model behavior, it is one of computer vision's most exciting and crucial challenges. In this session, we’ll do a hands-on walkthrough using the MVTec AD dataset, showcasing real-world workflows for data curation, exploration, and model evaluation. We’ll also explore the power of embedding visualizations and similarity searches to uncover hidden patterns and surface anomalies that often go unnoticed. This session is packed with actionable strategies to help you make sense of your data and build more robust, reliable models. Join us as we connect the dots between data, models, and real-world deployment—alongside other experts driving innovation in anomaly detection.
