Label data automatically with OWLv2

You can automatically label a dataset using

OWLv2

with help from Autodistill, an open source package for training computer vision models. You can label a folder of images automatically with only a few lines of code. Below, see our tutorials that demonstrate how to use

OWLv2

to train a computer vision model.
