To conduct experiments to systematically investigate the effect of (1) the number of pre-training images and (2) the number of pre-training images of different people.

YAMAGATA – Yamagata University has announced the discovery of 143 geoglyphs on the Nazca Pampa and surrounding areas in Peru, including one found in a study using artificial intelligence technology. The university's team, led by professor Masato Sakai, found 142 geoglyphs, including ones depicting humans, snakes and birds, through analysis of high-resolution images of the areas and fieldwork there between 2016 and 2018. The research was based on a hypothesis that many geoglyphs were created along small paths in the western region of the Nazca Pampa, according to the university's announcement Friday. The team conducted the AI-based study with cooperation from IBM Japan Ltd. between 2018 and 2019. The world's first such study analyzed aerial photographs using deep-learning techniques to look for what are likely to be geoglyphs.

There are a few different ways to think about pi. As apple, pumpkin and key lime … or as the different ways to represent the mathematical constant of ℼ, 3.14159, or, in binary, a long line of ones and zeroes. An irrational number, pi has decimal digits that go on forever without repeating. So when doing calculations with pi, both humans and computers must pick how many decimal digits to include before truncating or rounding the number. In grade school, one might do the math by hand, stopping at 3.14.

A schism lies at the heart of the field of artificial intelligence. Since its inception, the field has been defined by an intellectual tug-of-war between two opposing philosophies: connectionism and symbolism. These two camps have deeply divergent visions as to how to "solve" intelligence, with differing research agendas and sometimes bitter relations. Today, connectionism dominates the world of AI. The emergence of deep learning, which is a quintessentially connectionist technique, has driven the worldwide explosion in AI activity and funding over the past decade.

Artificial intelligence can examine electrocardiogram (ECG) test results, a common medical test, to pinpoint patients at higher risk of developing a potentially dangerous irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) or of dying within the next year, according to two preliminary studies to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2019 -- November 16-18 in Philadelphia. The Association's Scientific Sessions is an annual, premier global exchange of the latest advances in cardiovascular science for researchers and clinicians. Researchers used more than 2 million ECG results from more than three decades of archived medical records in Pennsylvania/New Jersey's Geisinger Health System to train deep neural networks -- advanced, multi-layered computational structures. Both studies, from the same group of researchers, are among the first to use artificial intelligence to predict future events from an ECG rather than to detect current health problems, the scientists noted. "This is exciting and provides more evidence that we are on the verge of a revolution in medicine where computers will be working alongside physicians to improve patient care," said Brandon Fornwalt, M.D., Ph.D., senior author on both studies and associate professor and chair of the Department of Imaging Science and Innovation at Geisinger in Danville, Pennsylvania. Researchers speculated that a deep learning model could predict irregular heart rhythms, known as atrial fibrillation (AF), before it develops.

AI and HPC are increasingly intertwined – machine learning workloads demand ever increasing compute power – so it's no surprise the annual supercomputing industry shindig, SC19 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver next week, has taken on a strong AI cast. As we noted recently ("Machine Learning Fuels a Booming HPC Market") based on findings by industry watcher Intersect360 Research, "enterprise infrastructure investments for training machine learning models have grown more than 50 percent annually over the past two years, and are expected to shortly surpass $10 billion, according to a new market forecast," and much of that training calls for HPC-class systems. With that in mind, here's a rundown of AI-related sessions and activities coming up at SC19 (all event locations are in the Convention Center unless otherwise specified): Deep Learning on Supercomputers, 9am-5:30pm, room 502-503-504: This workshop will be led by Zhao Zhang of the University of Texas, Valeriu Codreanu of SURFsara and Ian Foster of Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago and is designed to be a forum for practitioners working on all aspects of DL for science and engineering in HPC and to present their latest research results and development, deployment, and application experiences. Tools and Best Practices for Distributed Deep Learning on Supercomputers, 1:30-5pm, room 201: This tutorial will be led by Xu Weijia and Zhao Zhang of the Texas Advanced Computing Center and David Walling of the University of Texas and is intended to be a practical guide on how to run distributed deep learning over multiple compute nodes. Deep Learning at Scale, 8:30am-5pm, room 207: Led by seven experts from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Intel and Cray, this tutorial will focus on the impact of deep learning is having on the way science and industry use data to solve problems and the need for scalable methods and software to train DL models.

Thanks to faster compute, better storage and easy to use software, deep learning based solutions are definitely seeing the light of the day coming out from the proof-of-concept tunnel into the real-world! We are seeing widespread adoption of deep learning models across diverse domains in the industry including healthcare, finance, retail, tech, logistics, food-tech, agriculture amongst many others! Considering the fact that deep learning models are resource hungry and often compute-heavy, we need to pause for a moment and think about model inference and serving times, when consumed by end-users. Training and performing model inference on static batches of data while prototyping is necessary. However this methodology and code artifacts don't make the cut when we want our model to be consumed in the form of a web service or API.
