- [A Remote Data Aggregation Pipeline to Provide Machine Learning Datasets](https://img.ly/blog/data-aggregation.md): This blog explores how we aggregate datasets remotely, keep track of already generated datasets, and download datasets from a remote server using a generalizable architecture pattern.
- [Smart Cropping - Automatically crop images to optimal regions with deep neural networks](https://img.ly/blog/smart-cropping.md): Many websites ask you to upload images in specific aspect ratios. Smart cropping allows you to automatically find such images for any aspect ratio. It's powered by Convolutional Neural Networks, predicting the salient areas of a picture. We describe how smart cropping works and why it's important.
