Specialized AI Chipmaker Graphcore Extends Series D Round With $150M, Valued At $1.95B
The challenge is that the math behind it is somewhat complicated, and that it has to be run, over and over, across vast quantities of data to suss out the statistical weights and biases of a particular system. The work will get done; it might just take a long time. Data scientists and machine learning researchers have long used graphics processing units (GPUs) because of their highly parallelized architecture and relatively abundant on-chip memory available. But as industry and research groups alike seek more efficiency and need to accommodate ever-larger quantities of information, more specialized computing hardware is required for the task. Headquartered in Bristol, U.K., Graphcore is in the business of producing silicon purpose-built for munching through machine-learning math at high rates of speed and using less electricity than GPUs. Benchmarks for Graphcore's Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) state that it offers notably less latency and higher computational throughput, and uses less power than GPUs.

SwRI's Motion Prediction Algorithms Enhance Safety Features for Automated Vehicles
Southwest Research Institute, a leading innovator of machine learning technologies, has developed a motion prediction system that enhances pedestrian detection for automated vehicles. The computer vision tool uses a novel deep learning algorithm to predict motion by observing real-time biomechanical movements with the pelvic area being a key indicator for changes. "For instance, if a pedestrian is walking west, the system can predict if that person will suddenly turn south," said SwRI's Samuel E. Slocum, a senior research analyst who led the internally funded project. "As the push for automated vehicles accelerates, this research offers several important safety features to help protect pedestrians." Recent accidents involving automated vehicles have heightened the call for improved detection of pedestrians and other moving obstacles.
Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Computer Science - Copenhagen Campus
The Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University's Technical Faculty of IT and Design is looking to appoint a number of Assistant Professors (tenure-track) for its new group at the university's Copenhagen Campus, commencing September 1, 2020 or soon thereafter. In 2020, the Department of Computer Science will begin building a new research group at Aalborg University's Copenhagen Campus. The group will be responsible for the newly approved bachelor's and master's educations in "Software" and will over time build its own research profile and capacity. The Copenhagen group will build upon, and contribute to the Department's broad range of synergistic activities within research and education in the general area of computer science, including curiosity-driven research and targeted research in collaboration with industrial partners, as well as traditional university education, with a unique problem- and project-based focus, and continued education and knowledge dissemination. As Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the Copenhagen Campus you are expected to deliver teaching of an international standard on the new Software education commencing in September 2020.
HeartVista Announces Formation of Medical and Scientific Advisory Board with Leaders from Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin
HeartVista, a pioneer in AI-assisted MRI solutions, announced the formation of its Medical and Scientific Advisory Board, including notable thought leaders from Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin. "The past year was an inflection point for HeartVista, which was full of significant milestones as we received FDA 510(k) clearance for our AI-assisted One Click Cardiac Package," said Itamar Kandel, CEO of HeartVista. "This year, we will continue to progress our MRI software platform and expand its use across additional radiology centers within the US and globally. Our Medical and Scientific Advisory Board will provide strategic direction to our leadership team, enabling us to continue advancing the MRI field." "Automated, AI-driven prescription, as pioneered by HeartVista will change the way we perform advanced MRI exams, by dramatically reducing exam time, standardizing acquisitions, reducing error and rework, and ultimately improve the patient experience," said Dr. Scott Reeder, Vice Chair of Research and Chief of MRI, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine.
