Fine-Tuning YOLO to Watch Soccer Matches

https://www.poeticoding.com/fine-tuning-yolo-to-watch-soccer-matches/

Since the YOLO library now supports custom models, I created a guide showing how to fine-tune YOLO models for your specific use cases. The guide demonstrates transforming a generic 80-class detector into a specialized system (using soccer match analysis as an example) and integrating it with the Elixir YOLO library.

This fine-tuning approach applies to various industries where domain-specific object detection is needed - sports analytics, manufacturing QC, etc.

Calling an Elixir Library from Gleam

https://mtlynch.io/notes/gleam-call-elixir/

One of Gleam’s flagship features is that it can call Elixir code and libraries, but I couldn’t find any examples of how to do that. I wrote a simple example of calling an Elixir library from a Gleam project, based on my beginner’s understanding of the Gleam/Elixir/Erlang ecosystem.
