Researchers have presented a new artificial intelligence bot that can predict whether a movie will be a critical and financial siccess by simply analyzing its plot. The team behind the AI presented their paper at the 2019 Storytelling Workshop held in Florence, Italy this month. They claimed that the AI can help movie producers decide which movies might be worth the investment. "As the size of investment for movie production grows bigger, the need for predicting a movie's success in early stages has increased," explained the study authors in the paper's abstract. "To enable a more earlier prediction of a movie's performance, we propose a deep-learning based approach to predict the success of a movie using only its plot summary text."

Designing deep learning systems is hard and highly subjective. Any midsize neural network could contain millions of nodes and hundreds of hidden layers. Given a specific deep learning problem, there is a large number of possible neural network architectures that can serve as a solution. Typically, we need to rely on the expertise or subjective preferences of data scientists to settle on a specific approach but that seems highly unpractical. Recently, neural architecture search(NAS) has emerged as an alternative solution to this problem by making the design of deep learning systems a machine learning problem by itself.

Abstract: We introduce novel communication strategies in synchronous distributed Deep Learning consisting of decentralized gradient reduction orchestration and computational graph-aware grouping of gradient tensors. These new techniques produce an optimal overlap between computation and communication and result in near-linear scaling (0.93) of distributed training up to 27,600 NVIDIA V100 GPUs on the Summit Supercomputer. We demonstrate our gradient reduction techniques in the context of training a Fully Convolutional Neural Network to approximate the solution of a longstanding scientific inverse problem in materials imaging. The efficient distributed training on a dataset size of 0.5 PB, produces a model capable of an atomically-accurate reconstruction of materials, and in the process reaching a peak performance of 2.15(4) EFLOPS$_{16}$.

Microsoft has invested $1 billion in the Elon Musk-founded artificial intelligence venture that plans to mimic the human brain using computers. OpenAI said the investment would go towards its efforts of building artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can rival and surpass the cognitive capabilities of humans. "The creation of AGI will be the most important technological development in human history, with the potential to shape the trajectory of humanity," said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. We'll tell you what's true. You can form your own view.

When we think about training or learning processes in deep learning solution we typically visualize centralized models. In those architectures a series of central nodes collect and curate datasets which are used to train the models that are deployed across different nodes in a network. Even in distributed scenarios such as multi-agent reinforcement learning(MARL) that can include tens of thousands of nodes running a model the learning models rely on a handful of centralized nodes. Centralized learning is conceptually simple to implement but incredibly hard to scale. Imagine an internet of things(IOT) scenario with hundreds of thousands of devices collecting data and executing a reinforcement learning model.

AI pioneer Frank Rosenblatt in his famous 1958 paper on perceptron, wrote that the physical connections of the nervous system are not identical and at birth, the construction of the most important networks is largely random. This was the early days of computational breakthroughs and the researchers were already hinting that it's okay to be unorganised when it comes to machines. Today, the success of deep learning approaches owes in large to the enhancements of neural networks over the years. These networks are built on rules which allow them to interact with other nodes within the network. The way a connection is established also has a say in the rate at which the network learns a certain task.

The computer industry faces epic change, as the demands of "deep learning" forms of machine learning force new requirements upon silicon, at the same time that Moore's Law, the decades-old rule of progress in the chip business, is collapsing. This week, some of the best minds in the chip industry gathered in San Francisco to talk about what it means. Applied Materials, the dominant maker of tools to fabricate transistors, sponsored a full day of keynotes and panel sessions on Tuesday, called the "A.I. The presentations and discussions had good news and bad news. On the plus side, many tools are at the disposal of companies such as Advanced Micro Devices and Xilinx to make "heterogenous" arrangements of chips to meet the demands of deep learning. On the downside, it's not entirely clear that what they have in their kit bag will mitigate a potential exhaustion of data centers under the weight of increased computing demand. No new chips were shown at the Semicon show, those kinds of unveilings long since passed to other trade shows and conferences. But the discussion at the A.I. forum gave a good sense of how the chip industry is thinking about the explosion of machine learning and what it means for computers. Gary Dickerson, chief executive of Applied Materials, started his talk by noting the "dramatic slowdown of Moore's Law, citing data from UC Berkeley Professor David Patterson and Alphabet chairman John Hennessy showing that new processors are improving in performance by only 3.5% per year.
