Explosive growth in AI compute shows enterprises must get smart about strategy

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence research organization OpenAI recently released a report that shows the amount of compute power needed for training runs in the largest machine learning systems has increased by 300,000 times since 2012. Because machine learning results improve when given additional computing resources, we'll likely see even greater demands for silicon infrastructure to drive better results. Enterprises are increasingly using machine learning to automate complex problems and analytical tasks. But OpenAI's research shows there's a key challenge ahead: How can enterprises build the infrastructure they need to produce the business results they want when the technical requirements keep changing? First off, enterprises should try to find the least complicated algorithm necessary to solve the business problem at hand.


Tech Giants Are Paying Huge Salaries for Scarce A.I. Talent

#artificialintelligence

To bring in new A.I. engineers, companies like Google and Facebook are running classes that aim to teach "deep learning" and related techniques to existing employees. And nonprofits like Fast.ai and companies like Deeplearning.ai, The basic concepts of deep learning are not hard to grasp, requiring little more than high-school-level math. But real expertise requires more significant math and an intuitive talent that some call "a dark art." Specific knowledge is needed for fields like self-driving cars, robotics and health care.


Intel OpenVINO: Funny Name, Great Strategy

#artificialintelligence

Over the last several years, Intel has acquired four companies to go after the AI market: Nervana, Movidius, MobileEye, and Altera. Now the company has announced a new software strategy to unify these offerings for the application developer. While there is still much work to be done, Intel's inference strategy looks pretty solid and should pave the way for significant growth to come in AI. Figure 1: The Intel OpenVINO platform supports common programming models and the underlying libraries that turn high-level code into optimized instructions for specific hardware platforms including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and Movidius VPUs. The new strategy is named "OpenVINO," which stands for Open Visual Inferencing and Neural Network Optimization. One can give Intel a pass for dropping an "N," but in my world, VINO means WINE, without any ambiguity. I would have loved to be present at the meeting where Intel decided on the branding and would have suggested something like OpenVIA, for "Open Visual Inference Acceleration."


[D] Applying OpenAI Baselines to anything other than Atari Games possible? • r/MachineLearning

#artificialintelligence

This is a genuine question! If you look into the code, you'll find they are calling properties on the observation space variables that are passed into the learners that don't exist. I am trying to do policysearch with a dict based observationspace. Nothing suggests that wouldn't be possible. None, None) # None for shape and dtype, since it'll require special handling so ... rewriting the code to be a tuple now.


Sentence-State LSTM for Text Representation – Arxiv Vanity

#artificialintelligence

Hyperparameters: Table 2 shows the development results of various S-LSTM settings, where Time refers to training time per epoch. Adding one additional sentence-level node as described in Section 3.2 does not lead to accuracy improvements, although the number of parameters and decoding time increase accordingly. As a result, we use only 1 sentence-level node for the remaining experiments. The accuracies of S-LSTM increases as the hidden layer size for each node increases from 100 to 300, but does not further increase when the size increases beyond 300. We fix the hidden size to 300 accordingly.



AI's Insatiable Appetite For Silicon Requires New Chips

#artificialintelligence

One breakthrough of AI is deep learning: a branch of machine learning that can uncannily identify objects in images, recognize voices, and create other predictive models by analyzing data. Deep learning can use regular CPUs, but for serious projects, data science and AI engineering teams must use AI chips such as GPUs that can handle massively parallel workloads to more quickly train and continuously retrain models on large data sets. And, it's why all the internet giants, including Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft, have massive investments in AI infrastructure. Integrated circuits, computer systems, and/or cloud services that are designed to optimize the performance of AI workloads, such as deep learning model training and inferencing. When it comes to AI deep learning, GPUs get all the press.


Why Artificial Intelligence is Your Future Healthcare Companion

#artificialintelligence

AI, specifically cognitive computing technologies drastically transform healthcare experience for everyone in the ecosystem: doctors, patients, nurses, care givers, healthcare professionals and organizations. The influence of AI in real-life healthcare scenario is such that, gradually, the technology will adorn the role of your healthcare friend, philosopher and guide. Prior to understanding how Artificial Intelligence influences today's healthcare landscape, it is vital to know what AI really is. The hype of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around since the beginning of 20th century, though its contributions to healthcare remained minimal. In a broader sense, today AI is considered as the acronym for any task that a computer can perform just as well as, if not better than, humans.

Demystifying AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Demystifying key buzzwords like Artificial intelligence, machine learning, artificial neural networks and deep learning is simple and complex task at the same time. Let us attempt to melt down the thick confusion of how all-encompassing terms like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning speaks to each other. Machine learning, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence are all the golden words these days. Almost every technology (now even non technology) company on this planet is claiming the share of extra revenue by putting these buzz words on display. What is getting lost here is with all the buzzwords swirling around, it's easy to get lost and not see the difference between hype and reality.
