Huawei Wants To Tackle NVIDIA And Google With A Solid AI Strategy
It supports mainstream deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch and PaddlePaddle. Tensor Engine and its operators are Huawei's equivalent of NVIDIA cuDNN, a library that makes CUDA accessible to AI developers. MindSpore is Huawei's own unified training/inference framework architected to be design-friendly, operations-friendly that's adaptable to multiple scenarios. It includes core subsystems, such as a model library, graph compute, and tuning toolkit; a unified, distributed architecture for machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning; a flexible program interface along with support for multiple languages. MindSpore is highly optimized for Ascend chips. It takes advantage of the hardware innovations that went into the design of the AI chips.
How artificial intelligence is revolutionising business in 2017
These and many other fascinating insights are from the Boston Consulting Group and MIT Sloan Management Review study published this week, Reshaping Business With Artificial Intelligence. An online summary of the report is available here. The survey is based on interviews with more than 3,000 business executives, managers, and analysts in 112 countries and 21 industries. For additional details regarding the methodology, please see page 4. The research found significant gaps between companies who have already adopted and understand Artificial Intelligence (AI) and those lagging. AI early adopters invest heavily in analytics expertise and ensuring the quality of algorithms and data can scale across their enterprise-wide information and knowledge needs.

Classifying Multilingual User Feedback using Traditional Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Stanik, Christoph, Haering, Marlo, Maalej, Walid
With the rise of social media like Twitter and of software distribution platforms like app stores, users got various ways to express their opinion about software products. Popular software vendors get user feedback thousandfold per day. Research has shown that such feedback contains valuable information for software development teams such as problem reports or feature and support inquires. Since the manual analysis of user feedback is cumbersome and hard to manage many researchers and tool vendors suggested to use automated analyses based on traditional supervised machine learning approaches. In this work, we compare the results of traditional machine learning and deep learning in classifying user feedback in English and Italian into problem reports, inquiries, and irrelevant. Our results show that using traditional machine learning, we can still achieve comparable results to deep learning, although we collected thousands of labels.
Nokia and NTT DoCoMo to use 5G and AI to monitor workers
Telco equipment maker Nokia, Japanese telco NTT DoCoMo, and industrial automation company Omron have agreed to conduct 5G trials at their plants and production sites. As part of the trial, the trio will look to couple 5G and artificial intelligence together to create "real-time coaching" for workers. "Machine operators will be monitored using cameras, with an AI-based system providing feedback on their performance based on an analysis of their movements," Nokia said in a statement. "This will help improve the training of technicians by detecting and analysing the differences of motion between more skilled and less skilled personnel." The trial will also test how reliable 5G is when the movement of people and background noise from machinery is involved.

Q-Learning Based Aerial Base Station Placement for Fairness Enhancement in Mobile Networks
Ghanavi, Rozhina, Sabbaghian, Maryam, Yanikomeroglu, Halim
In this paper, we use an aerial base station (aerial-BS) to enhance fairness in a dynamic environment with user mobility. The problem of optimally placing the aerial-BS is a non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) problem. Moreover, the network topology is subject to continuous changes due to the user mobility. These issues intensify the quest to develop an adaptive and fast algorithm for 3D placement of the aerial-BS. To this end, we propose a method based on reinforcement learning to achieve these goals. Simulation results show that our method increases fairness among users in a reasonable computing time, while the solution is comparatively close to the optimal solution obtained by exhaustive search.
