MLPerf Releases Results for Machine Learning Inference Benchmark

#artificialintelligence

After introducing the first inference benchmarks in June of 2019, today the MLPerf consortium released 595 inference benchmark results from 14 organizations. The MLPerf Inference v0.5 machine learning inference benchmark has been designed to measure how well and how quickly various accelerators and systems execute trained neural networks. The initial version of the benchmark, v0.5 currently only covers 5 networks/benchmark, and it doesn't yet have any power testing metrics, which would be necessary to measure overall energy efficiency. In any case, the benchmark has attracted the attention from the major hardware vendors, all of whom are keen to show off what their hardware can do on a standardized test, and to demonstrate to clients why their solution is superior. Of the 595 benchmark results released today, 166 are in the Closed Division intended for direct comparison of systems.



NVIDIA Research Takes NeurIPS Attendees on AI Road Trip NVIDIA Blog

#artificialintelligence

Take a joyride through a 3D urban neighborhood that looks like Tokyo, or New York, or maybe Rio de Janeiro -- all imagined by AI. We've introduced at this week's NeurIPS conference AI research that allows developers to render fully synthetic, interactive 3D worlds. While still early stage, this work shows promise for a variety of applications, including VR, autonomous vehicle development and architecture. The tech is among several NVIDIA projects on display here in Montreal. Attendees huddled around a green and black racing chair in our booth have been wowed by the demo, which lets drivers navigate around an eight-block world rendered by the neural network.


MultiBrief: Will convenience outweigh privacy when it comes to using facial recognition in public?

#artificialintelligence

Facial recognition technology is convenient. Many of us use it numerous times a day to unlock our smartphones. Although people often access their phones with Face ID or fingerprints, many still worry about their privacy when their biometric data are used in the public space. There is a fine line between consensual identity verification and non-consensual surveillance. Delta Airlines opened the nation's first biometric terminal at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport (ATL) in November 2018.


Millenial Parents Are More Likely to Use Chatbot Pediatrician Diagnoses

#artificialintelligence

More than nine out of 10 parents in China (95%) say they are likely to use an AI chatbot to diagnose their sick child in the future, up from 85% in 2018, including more than half (53%) saying they are "extremely" likely. Likewise, in India, 87% say they are likely to use an AI chatbot for their child's diagnosis in 2019 with 60% saying they are "extremely" likely, up significantly from 2018 (38%). In the U.K., parents are more likely in 2019 (53%) than in 2018 (50%) to use this technology to diagnose their child, while U.S. parents continue not to be very likely (51 percent in 2019 as compared to 52% in 2018) to use this technology to diagnose their child.

Has human communication become botifed? - IBM iX

#artificialintelligence

How often do you receive a message and wonder, "Did a person really write this?" When receiving a message online, it can often be difficult to discern whether it came from a human or a chatbot. Given the rapid rise in automated forms of communication, it would be foolish to assume that words attached to a name and face are in fact human. On the same token, our emails and messages on social platforms are filled with general platitudes, formulaic personalizations, and responses that seem reminiscent of an if this, then that (IFTTT) equation. We typically chalk this up as a win for technologists, who have been busy adding linguistic nuances and flourishes to how chatbots interact with humans.


London Bar Using Facial Recognition to Stop Line Cutters - Robot News

#artificialintelligence

You are in a pub and trying to order a drink. Someone cuts in front or the bartender simply doesn't see you. In crowded bars, you can end up spending most of your night just trying to order a drink. The Underdog in Central London is claiming to be the first bar in the world to install facial recognition technology. The AI-powered system, which was developed by British company DataSparQ, will help staff see who's next in line to be serviced.


Due date delay for Application of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Tools for NASA Science (RFI)

#artificialintelligence

This amendment delays the due date for the request for information to this program element in order to provide the community with more time to respond. The due date has been extended to November 14, 2019. FDL is an applied artificial intelligence (AI) research accelerator leveraging the newest developments in AI and Machine Learning (ML) technologies from academia and the private sector and applying them to challenges relevant to NASA's goals in space and earth sciences. Teams of computer scientists and space and earth scientists work to solve problems important to NASA and humanity's future within a given time frame. Each team is made up of four participants (two computer scientists and two domain scientists).
