Road to RSNA 2019: Women's Imaging Preview
Presentations will highlight how AI can improve or enhance breast imaging, covering topics such as the use of deep learning to reduce digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) reading time and even further improve its cancer detection capability; the benefits of allowing AI algorithms to sift through mammograms and eliminate low-malignancy exams, thus improving radiologists' workflow; using AI as a tool to reduce the recall rate on digital mammography; and machine learning-based evaluation of DBT screening through the creation of customized synthesized 2D images. In fact, the RSNA plans to kick off the week with a Deep Learning Classroom session that's part of its AI Showcase, and the session will be repeated throughout the meeting.
4 Proven Tricks to Improve your Deep Learning Model's Performance
I've spent the majority of the last two years working almost exclusively in the deep learning space. It's been quite an experience โ worked on multiple projects including image and video data related ones. Before that, I was on the fringes โ I skirted around deep learning concepts like object detection and face recognition โ but didn't take a deep dive until late 2017. I've come across a variety of challenges during this time. And I want to talk about four very common ones that most deep learning practitioners and enthusiasts face in their journey.
The US Army is creating robots that can follow orders
Once it has used deep learning to identify an object, the robot uses a knowledge base to pull out more detailed information that helps it carry out its orders. For example,when it identifies an object as a car, it consults a list of facts relating to cars: a car is a vehicle, it has wheels and an engine, and so on. These facts need to be hand-coded and are time consuming to compile, however, and Stump says the team is looking into ways to streamline this.
Alibaba Strikes Back At Google Cloud And AWS
The global off-premises cloud services market is set to more than double between 2018 and 2023, as enterprise adoption grows to improve application performance and increase scalability. Global off-premises cloud services revenue will expand to $407 billion in 2023, up from $188 billion in 2018, according to the latest Cloud & Colocation Services for IT Infrastructure and Applications Market Tracker from IHS Markit Technology, now a part of Informa Tech. Within the off-premises cloud services market, the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) segment is where artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques are most heavily used. AI and ML equip developers with pre-built deep-learning application components that allow them to focus on creating the business-specific portions of their apps and reduce their time to market. In the first half of 2019, PaaS generated the second-highest year-over-year (YoY) growth rate of any segment of the off-premises cloud services market, with a 41 percent increase. It also yielded the second-highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018 through 2023, at 23 percent.
Samsung hosts annual forum on breakthrough AI tech
Tech giant Samsung Electronics kicked off its third annual artificial intelligence forum on Nov. 4 in Seoul, where local and global artificial intelligence experts have gathered to share their research projects and discuss future advancements in the technology. At this year's event, presentations will be delivered on a range of technologies, including deep learning, autonomous driving systems and natural language processing. On the first day of the forum, top-notch researchers in the deep learning sector, including Yoshua Bengio of University of Montreal, Trevor Darrell of UC Berkeley, Cho Kyung-hyeon of New York University and Simon Lacoste-Julien of University of Montreal, delivered lectures and presentations on AI technology. Professor Yoshua introduced a concept of an AI solution learning the world like a child, through meta learning and reinforcement learning, while Darrell talked about the latest research trends in autonomous driving solutions that can make decisions in unexpected, complex situations on their own. "The AI technology is already affecting almost every aspect of our daily lives," said Kim Ki-nam, chief of Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology in his opening speech.
Harvard Pathology Lab Develops Cancer-Detecting AI NVIDIA Blog
Pathologists agreed just three-quarters of the time when diagnosing breast cancer from biopsy specimens, according to a recent study. The difficult, time-consuming process of analyzing tissue slides is why pathology is one of the most expensive departments in any hospital. Faisal Mahmood, assistant professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School and the Brigham and Women's Hospital, leads a team developing deep learning tools that combine a variety of sources -- digital whole slide histopathology data, molecular information, and genomics -- to aid pathologists and improve the accuracy of cancer diagnosis. Mahmood, who heads his eponymous Mahmood Lab in the Division of Computational Pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, spoke this week about this research at GTC DC, the Washington edition of our GPU Technology Conference. The variability in pathologists' diagnosis "can have dire consequences, because an uncertain determination can lead to more biopsies and unnecessary interventional procedures," he said in a recent interview.
Using GPT-2 to generate Pokรฉmon anime episodes
Ludicolo was a salsa master, he would teach Ash how to move like a god. He would make fun of Ash for being unable to move so quickly, and would even attack him for being weak. What follows is the story of someone using a ridiculously complex piece of technology just to make something goofy. The GPT-2 model, presented by OpenAI, was a game changer in AI generated text. So much so that the team behind the development of the model delayed it's public release so people could prepare for a world were things like fake news could be generated effortlessly and without much human intervention.
Artificial Intelligence Predicts Food Recalls Using Online Reviews
Have you ever read or written an online review? The answer is probably yes, and many other consumers would agree. Business owners are also avid readers of online reviews, using this information to gauge customer satisfaction and steer product development. Now, there's a new type of audience looking through online reviews: an artificial intelligence platform called BERT. BERT, also known as Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformations, is a deep learning platform capable of language modelling.

Nvidia comes out on top in first MLPerf inference benchmarks - AI News
The first benchmark results from the MLPerf consortium have been released and Nvidia is a clear winner for inference performance. For those unaware, inference takes a deep learning model and processes incoming data however it's been trained to. MLPerf is a consortium which aims to provide "fair and useful" standardised benchmarks for inference performance. MLPerf can be thought of as doing for inference what SPEC does for benchmarking CPUs and general system performance. The consortium has released its first benchmarking results, a painstaking effort involving over 30 companies and over 200 engineers and practitioners.
