Extract text, identify objects, and analyze visual content using pre-trained models via Azure’s unified AI Vision API.

Azure AI Vision (formerly Computer Vision) provides advanced image processing through specialized tools like the Read API for OCR and spatial analysis for movement tracking. It identifies over 10,000 visual objects and extracts text from documents with high precision. Developers deploy these features using SDKs for Python, C#, and Java to automate practical tasks: digitizing handwritten notes, monitoring retail foot traffic, and generating descriptive alt-text. The platform operates on Microsoft’s global cloud infrastructure, delivering low-latency results and enterprise-grade security for production-scale deployments.

### [Applying 4o Vision Finetuning to Chemistry Diagrams](https://singapore.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_7w9joR3W_oI)

The task is to extract student's attempts for chemistry diagram questions. These diagrams are a graph with nodes and edges. Using VLLMs out of the box often results in the model correcting the chemistry equations or missing key notation. Here we explore Vision Finetuning, and see how far we can go with less than 10 hand-labelled examples. Kuang Wen and I will show the data we have, the augmentation techniques, and our current demo app comparing finetuned with non-finetuned.
