Israeli artificial intelligence (AI) peptide drug discovery company Pepticom announced today that it has raised $5 million in a Series A financing round from the Chartered Group. The Jerusalem-based company's AI technology streamlines and significantly accelerates the ability of researchers to discover advanced peptide-based drug candidates. Peptides are used in various therapies, and are recognized for being highly selective and efficacious as well as relatively safe. The pharma industry has recently shown an increased interest in peptide research and development, leading to a resurgence of peptide drug candidates. The process of discovering new peptides with lifesaving potential, however, is still costly and time consuming.

Cologne – LANXESS is broadening its use of artificial intelligence (AI) in product development. The specialty chemicals company has launched a project aimed at expanding its range of prepolymers. The goal is to offer customers tailor-made polyurethane systems with even shorter lead times, including for entirely new applications with different requirements. The Urethane Systems business unit is using the potential of AI and has brought materials AI company Citrine Informatics on board as a project partner. LANXESS data specialists and process experts used the Citrine Platform for artificial intelligence to add further data points to the company's formulation database.

The International Research Institute of Disaster Science at Tohoku University, Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo, the City of Kawasaki, and Fujitsu Limited have today announced that they will conduct a field trial of AI technology for supporting tsunami evacuations in Kawasaki City on Sunday, November 17th. The four parties have been promoting their Joint Project Aiming for Tsunami Disaster Risk Reduction Using ICT in the Kawasaki Coastal Area since November 2017. The upcoming demonstration will be conducted as a continuation of this project, which most recently included a tsunami evacuation drill conducted with residents of Kawasaki in December 2018. In the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, overconfidence in existing safety protocols and disaster countermeasures, in combination with insufficient communication of disaster information, partly contributed to substantial delays in evacuation. In some cases, this tragically meant that some residents did not realize that a tsunami would strike their location until it was too late, leaving them unprepared to evacuate.

The "Artificial Intelligence In The Automotive Industry - M&A Trend Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

As AI adoption peaks, organizations are realizing the need to understand and leverage advanced algorithms and computational structures, innovative testing and validation platforms, integrated cockpit solutions, and 5G network adoption and application deployment for building their next generation mobility services. AI is thus driving merger and acquisition trend in the automotive sector. Further, state of the art customizations are increasingly replacing traditional automotive platforms - a trend that is strengthening in the automotive industry.

SEATTLE, Oct. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global supercomputer leader Cray, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced that the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS) in Germany has selected a new Cray CS-Stormä GPU-accelerated supercomputer to advance its computing infrastructure in response to user demand for processing-intensive applications like machine learning and deep learning. The new Cray system is tailored for artificial intelligence (AI) and includes the Cray Urika -CS AI and Analytics suite, enabling HLRS to accelerate AI workloads, arm users to address complex computing problems and process more data with higher accuracy of AI models in engineering, automotive, energy, and environmental industries and academia. "As we extend our service portfolio with AI, we require an infrastructure that can support the convergence of traditional high-performance computing applications and AI workloads to better support our users and customers," said Prof. Dr. Michael Resch, director at HRLS. "We've found success working with our current Cray Urika-GX system for data analytics, and we are now at a point where AI and deep learning have become even more important as a set of methods and workflows for the HPC community. Our researchers will use the new CS-Storm system to power AI applications to achieve much faster results and gain new insights into traditional types of simulation results." Supercomputer users at HLRS are increasingly asking for access to systems containing AI acceleration capabilities.
