From February 7 through March 17, 2018, Pilevneli Gallery presented Refik Anadol's latest project on the materiality of remembering. Melting Memories offered new insights into the representational possibilities emerging from the intersection of advanced technology and contemporary art. By showcasing several interdisciplinary projects that translate the elusive process of memory retrieval into data collections, the exhibition immersed visitors in Anadol's creative vision of "recollection." "Science states meanings; art expresses them," writes American philosopher John Dewey and draws a curious distinction between what he sees as the principal modes of communication in both disciplines. In Melting Memories, Refik Anadol's expressive statements provide the viewer with revealing and contemplative artworks that will generate responses to Dewey's thesis.

Built on verified architectures that combine NVIDIA DGX systems for compute and flash storage technology, the Cloud for Data Scientists provides accelerated GPU compute tuned to the demands of deep learning. Core Scientific is a leader in artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies, delivering best-in-class infrastructure and software solutions. In an increasingly distributed and connected world, Core Scientific believes that AI and blockchain are changing the way information is processed, shared and stored across a range of industries. Announced earlier this year, the Core Scientific AiLab is an artificial intelligence and machine learning cloud built from the ground up for the needs of data scientists. "Providing leading edge AI infrastructure and AI applications and tools to Equinix customers is an integral part of our strategy," said Kevin Turner, CEO of Core Scientific.

Earlier this year, artificial intelligence yielded a practical insight: people like to drink coffee in the morning, so workplaces should find efficient ways to serve coffee. That raised a question that's surprisingly deep -- and can cost serious money to ignore: Is AI actually necessary for this problem? is a question that remains largely unasked in Silicon Valley today. We think it's worth asking. To be sure, modern data products owe a lot of their success to artificial intelligence. Well-considered AI unlocks entirely new types of data-driven insights and cuts the time and money needed for manual data analysis. But ill-considered AI can fail -- expensively.

Do you know the way to San Jose? As they previewed earlier this year, Bosch and Mercedes-Benz have commenced trials for an automated ride-hailing service in the Silicon Valley city of San Jose. To start with, autonomous S-Class Mercedes-Benz vehicles (with safety drivers at the wheel) will shuttle "a select group of users" between North San Jose and downtown. The busy San Carlos/Stevens Creek corridor between west San Jose and downtown should be good test for the self-driving tech used by Mercedes and Bosch. Rather than just playing with prototypes, the companies want to create a production-ready SAE Level 4/5 self-driving system that can be built into different makes and models. To do that, they're using a combination of AI, a million-square foot proving ground in Stuttgart and the real world San Jose ride-hailing tests.

The upshot: Mindtech provides a capability for creating fully annotated synthetic training images to complement real images for improved AI training. We've spent a lot of time looking at AI training and AI inference and the architectures and processes used for each of those. Where the AI task involves images, we've blithely referred to the need for training sets; that's easy, right? After all, if you're trying to train your algorithm to recognize a dog, then just give it a bunch of pictures of dogs (OK, tag them with, "This one contains a dog") and then a bunch of pictures without dogs ("This one contains no dog"), and off you go! Right? And the behemoths like Google and Facebook have oodles of images and videos (videos being collections of frames, each of which is an image), thanks to the free stuff willingly served up by unsuspecting users (including images now and 10 years ago to help improve aging algorithms).

Facial recognition technology has advanced swiftly in the last five years. As University of Texas at Dallas researchers try to determine how computers have gotten as good as people at the task, they are also shedding light on how the human brain sorts information. UT Dallas scientists have analyzed the performance of the latest echelon of facial recognition algorithms, revealing the surprising way these programs--which are based on machine learning--work. Their study, published online Nov. 12 in Nature Machine Intelligence, shows that these sophisticated computer programs--called deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs)--figured out how to identify faces differently than the researchers expected. "For the last 30 years, people have presumed that computer-based visual systems get rid of all the image-specific information--angle, lighting, expression and so on," said Dr. Alice O'Toole, senior author of the study and the Aage and Margareta Møller Professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.

Developers and entrepreneurs wanting to grow their businesses ultimately end up recipients of US financing, working for US companies, and the job opportunities and economic growth these technologies bring head elsewhere. An investment support programme will also be set up to complement the 100m fund, leveraging further financial support from EU Member States. The aim is to multiply investments at the national level by involving national promotional banks, incentivising private sector investments, and making Europe more attractive for start-ups to stay and grow in Europe. This is a particular issue for companies based in central, eastern and south-eastern Europe. Recent research shows that due to difficulties with access to finance, nearly half of start-ups in this region choose to leave, and the European Commission, together with the European Investment Fund, has launched a pilot investment programme which leverages EU resources under the InnovFin Equity programme.

Topics like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and machine learning are getting lots of hype, but digital twin technology might just be the real game-changer. Digital twin software uses aspects of all the trending tech mentioned (AI, IoT, ML) in a unique way that's changing the way businesses optimize production and investment, and the big boys are already heavily invested. A digital twin is a highly advanced simulation that's used in computer-aided engineering (CAE). It's a digital duplicate that represents a physical object or process, but it is not intended to replace a physical object; it is merely to inform its optimization. Other terms used to refer to digital twin technology include virtual prototyping, hybrid twin technology, and digital asset management, but digital twin is quickly winning out as the most popular name.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the face of rapidly growing technology, and every company nowadays is looking to take maximum benefit from it. In this blog, we will discuss the top benefits of artificial intelligence for businesses. Businesses' first and foremost motive is to engage more customers towards their services, provide the best customer experience, and drive maximum revenue out of it. All the businesses quest to find the right way to ease their efforts and maximize their efficiency with minimum equipment. Their hunt for all these ends right away with the AI because of the extensive benefits of artificial intelligence, which eventually helps them to make their business a profitable one.
