Facebook makes big advances in AI reasoning and machine translation - SiliconANGLE

Facebook Inc. is using its @Scale conference today to provide an update on its progress in artificial intelligence research. The social media company is open-sourcing a new "AI reasoning" platform and providing some updates on its research into machine translation. It's part of a broad push to scale up AI workloads, a difficult task given the massive amounts of data needed to train AI models, Srinivas Narayanan (pictured), the lead for Facebook's Applied AI Research, said this morning at the conference in San Jose, California. "Facebook wouldn't be where it is today without AI," Narayanan said. "It's deeply integrated into everything we do."
