Intel Named to DARPA Project Focused on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Intel Newsroom

Intel has been selected by DARPA, a U.S. Department of Defense agency, to collaborate on the development of a powerful new data-handling and computing platform that will leverage machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. The notion of Big Data emerges from the observation that 90 percent of the data available today has been created in just the past two years. From devices at the edge to large data centers crunching everything from corporate clouds to future energy technology simulations, the world is awash in data – being stored, indexed and accessed. DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office created the Hierarchical Identify Verify & Exploit (HIVE) program to develop new technologies to realize 1,000x performance-per-watt gains in the ability to handle graph analytics. Unlike traditional analytics that are tools to study "one to one" or "one to many" relationships, graph analytics can use algorithms to construct and process the world's data organized in a "many to many" relationship – moving from immediate connections to multiple layers of indirect relationships.
