Nvidia Seen Fending Off Rival Artificial-Intelligence Chips

#artificialintelligence

"It is possible for ASICs over time to be successful in the deep-learning world," Mosesmann said. "However, we are of the opinion that at this stage in a multidecade product cycle it is just too early to'fix' the hardware, given that there is a plethora of deep-learning frameworks (Tensorflow, Caffee, MXNet, …


Orange Bank adopts AI to boost customer relations

#artificialintelligence

Orange Bank launched artificial intelligence (AI)-based customer service support for its mobile-first bank, a move the company hailed as a first in the French market. The assistant will use Orange's Djingo, a French language AI service unveiled in April 2017 and set to be rolled out across a range of the …


Students Study How Design Impacts Artificial Intelligence

Design students at CMU are exploring ways to enhance our interactions with new technologies and the power of artificial intelligence.


High expectations for AI in imaging lag behind reality

Despite high expectations for the use of artificial intelligence in imaging, use of advanced computing technologies to assist radiologists is still in the early stages. A recent report from KLAS Research finds that "talk about AI in imaging has been more common than actual adoption."



Vic MPs to examine artificial intelligence

"This is something that can provide us with huge opportunities within our industry development. "Yes, people will be fearful of it, but we should be learning to embrace that change." The group, modelled on the UK version, will examine the economic and social effects of artificial intelligence.


The Dark Side of Artificial Intelligence

I often have to write in different languages and was shocked to find that overnight Google Translate went from being a joke to "knowing" even my best foreign language better than me. The reason: an AI program called "Deep Learning."


Deep Models of Interactions Across Sets

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We use deep learning to model interactions across two or more sets of objects, such as user-movie ratings or protein-drug bindings. The canonical representation of such interactions is a matrix (or tensor) with an exchangeability property: the encoding's meaning is not changed by permuting rows or columns. We argue that models should hence be Permutation Equivariant (PE): constrained to make the same predictions across such permutations. We present a parameter-sharing scheme and prove that it could not be made any more expressive without violating PE. This scheme yields three benefits. First, we demonstrate performance competitive with the state of the art on multiple matrix completion benchmarks. Second, our models require a number of parameters independent of the numbers of objects, and thus scale well to large datasets. Third, models can be queried about new objects that were not available at training time, but for which interactions have since been observed. We observed surprisingly good generalization performance on this matrix extrapolation task, both within domains (e.g., new users and new movies drawn from the same distribution used for training) and even across domains (e.g., predicting music ratings after training on movie ratings).
