SEERIST releases white paper on Turning Infinite data into Insightful risk and threat Strategies

#artificialintelligence

Outlines how augmented analytics changes the way security, operations and risk professionals navigate or prevent potential risks before they happen. Seerist Inc., the leading augmented analytics solution for threat and security professionals, today announced the availability of its white paper, Turning Infinite Data into Insightful Threat and Risk Strategies. This white paper was written to demonstrate how leaders can better leverage global data to make more informed, strategic decisions by combining the power of machine learning, human analysis, and natural language capabilities. "Data continues to grow at an accelerated rate every year with 89 percent of big data created in the last two years. It is simply impossible for humans to adequately access and evaluate the vast quantum of information available, yet the value it provides can be life changing and should not be ignored," said Jim Brooks, Seerist's CEO.

Artificial intelligence tools help scientists decode genomic disorders and communicate genomic risks

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning and other artificial intelligence tools are already improving the detection of relatively common conditions, such as breast cancer through mammography. Benjamin Solomon, M.D., NHGRI clinical director and senior clinician in the NHGRI Medical Genetics Branch, wants to know if we can find a way to use these tools at surface level -- to diagnose genetic conditions that affect the skin. Genetic disorders are often rare and notoriously difficult to diagnose. On average, it takes between five and 10 years from the onset of symptoms to pinpoint the exact genetic cause of a rare condition. The long and arduous diagnostic journey often delays treatment, and it typically ends up being costly and isolating.


New Intel oneAPI 2023 Tools Maximize Value of Upcoming Intel Hardware

#artificialintelligence

WIRE)--What's New: Today, Intel announced the 2023 release of the Intel oneAPI tools – available in the Intel Developer Cloud and rolling out through regular distribution channels. The new oneAPI 2023 tools support the upcoming 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, Intel Xeon CPU Max Series and Intel Data Center GPUs, including Flex Series and the new Max Series. The tools deliver performance and productivity enhancements, and also add support for new Codeplay1 plug-ins that make it easier than ever for developers to write SYCL code for non-Intel GPU architectures. These standards-based tools deliver choice in hardware and ease in developing high-performance applications that run on multiarchitecture systems. "We're seeing encouraging early application performance results on our development systems using Intel Max Series GPU accelerators – applications built with Intel's oneAPI compilers and libraries. For leadership-class computational science, we value the benefits of code portability from multivendor, multiarchitecture programming standards such as SYCL and Python AI frameworks such as PyTorch, accelerated by Intel libraries. We look forward to the first exascale scientific discoveries from these technologies on the Aurora system next year."
