A startling 19 politically exposed people (PEPs) exist among the shareholders of #Lebanon's cement cartel: Sibline, Cimenterie Nationale, and Holcim.

Many more occupy seats in the companies' boards of directors. Read our latest paper "Mountain to Mortar"

Today we are announcing the release of Vistas 2.0. Vistas is a street-level image dataset of 25,000 images that helps machines to understand street scenes.

In this release we double the amount of labelling categories. Researchers can download 2.0 now.
