Status: DONE

Leap Of Faith Assumption (LOFA) We Are Testing:

(I) We assume that we can identify some percentage of food via image recognition

Hypothesis:

We believe that if we give a user a device for identifying their inventory that we will be able to recognize 20% of items with our existing training to date.

Experiment Steps:

  • Give 3 internal Mozilla users (not on the team) our prototype device
  • Have them sign up for a Kik account
  • Instruct them on how to provision their wifi
  • Have them try to identify items in their kitchen with the device when they are done with their shopping
  • Collect metrics on the accuracy of the item identification

Experiment Timeline:

7/18 Experiment Details Created
07/19 Email Sent out to SF/MTV Staff for 3 testers
07/22 Trial Instructions and Wifi Set Up Instructions completed
07/25 Software completed for prototype (server, username, etc.)
07/27 Hardware completed from Kevin and delivered to SF Office
07/27 Study Begins (each participants have 1 week and are starting on different days)
07/27 Metric Collection Begin
7/28-8/5 First week of metrics collected with no training
08/06 Upload additional training and update classifiers.json
8/6-8/12 Second week of metrics collected with additional training on common ingredients of trial participants

Experiment Details:

Key Findings:

  • Recognized 25% of the images but were very loose recognition. (i.e. Food)
  • Need to look at another recognition survey
  • Need to incentivize survey participants
  • Team needs to look at actual images to see what the problem is.

Next Steps:

  • Possible secondary experiment: comparing two IR services
